Detroit’s Decision: Lions Decline to Re-Sign Carlton Davis

The Detroit Lions appear to be moving on from cornerback Carlton Davis, as they don’t seem willing to meet his contract demands. Davis, who had a solid season with the Lions, is expected to test the free agency market.

The Lions have several other cornerbacks on their roster, including Jeff Okudah, Jerry Jacobs, and Amani Oruwariye. However, Davis’s departure would still leave a void in the team’s secondary.

It’s unclear what the Lions’ plan is to replace Davis, but they may look to free agency or the draft to add depth to their cornerback position. The team has around $46 million in cap space, which they can use to sign free agents or re-sign their own players.

Some possible replacements for Davis could include:

  • Free agent cornerbacks: The Lions may look to sign a veteran cornerback to replace Davis.
  • Draft prospects: The Lions could use one of their draft picks to select a cornerback.
  • In-house options: The Lions may look to promote one of their younger cornerbacks, such as Jerry Jacobs or Amani Oruwariye, to a starting role.
