The Jets signed former Lions linebacker Jarrad Davis to a one-year deal, for around $5.5 million, according to NFL Network’s Peter Schrager. The deal can be worth up to $7 million with incentives.
As NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport mentions, teams felt like Davis wasn’t properly utilized in Detroit. The former first-round pick will get a chance to prove himself as a 4-3 OLB in Robert Saleh’s defensive scheme.
This past season, Davis fell out of favor in Detroit. He made only four starts, playing in just 29% of the Lions’ defensive snaps.
Davis’ best season came in 2018, prior to former Lions head coach Matt Patricia’s arrival in Detroit. He recorded 100 total tackles, six sacks, five pass breakups and 10 quarterback hits in 16 starts
