Carlton Davis Puts Lions on Notice Ahead of Free Agency
With free agency approaching, the Detroit Lions have a big decision to make at cornerback—and Carlton Davis just made things more interesting. The veteran defensive back took to social media to send a clear message: he wants to get paid.
“I won’t make the same mistake twice. If you want your defense upgraded, y’all know who to pay. Turn on the tape!” Davis posted, signaling his intent to cash in. While he was a solid fit in Detroit’s secondary, his desire for a big payday could make negotiations tricky. If the Lions decide to move on, Paulson Adebo of the Saints has been mentioned as a possible replacement. Adebo, 25, has shown promise as a press-coverage corner and could be a more affordable option on a short-term deal.
With cornerback remaining a major need, expect Detroit to move quickly next week—whether it’s to bring back Davis or find a new playmaker for the secondary.
