Traded to Detroit
The Buccaneers are trading Davis to the Lions, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Detroit gets an experienced starter to address the obvious weak point of an otherwise stellar roster. The Bucs probably won't get much in return; for them, the appeal largely comes from avoiding more than $14 million in non-guaranteed payments scheduled for Davis in 2024 (after the recent re-signings of QB Baker Mayfield and WR Mike Evans). The 27-year-old Davis has played between 10 and 14 games each season since the Bucs took him in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, starting 75 of his 76 regular-season appearances while averaging 54 tackles, 12.2 pass defenses, 1.5 interceptions, 0.5 forced fumbles and 0.7 fumble recoveries per season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Subject of trade interest
Davis' name has surfaced in trade chatter, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
A number of big-name cornerbacks could be on the move this offseason, and with the Buccaneers trying to find the cap space to re-sign other free agents after retaining Mike Evans on Monday, trading Davis as he heads into the final season of his current contract might be part of the solution. The 27-year-old posted strong numbers in coverage in 2023 but once again dealt with injuries, missing five regular-season games but returning in time for Tampa Bay's playoff run.

2018
Davis turned in another decent campaign by the numbers in 2022, producing the second-most tackles of his career (65) while recording double-digit pass breakups (12) for the fourth straight season. He also yielded the second-lowest completion percentage (45.8) and yards per attempt (6.1) in primary coverage of his career, playing a key role in the Buccaneers' drop from 245.3 passing yards per game allowed in 2021 to 208.8 a year ago. Davis' physical style should give him chances to get his hands on plenty of ball carriers, receivers and passes as a starting cornerback in a unit where the position typically accrues plenty of counting stats.
