Jarrad Davis’ contract details suggest he’ll be fighting for roster spot

The 2022 free agency period has slowed to a crawl, and with the NFL draft less than a month away, teams have shifted from signing big named players to filling depth roles with upside players who could challenge to start.

The Detroit Lions have made three such free agent moves in recent days, signing linebackers Jarrad Davis (formerly of the Jets/Lions) and Chris Board (Ravens), as well as corner Mike Hughes (Chiefs/Vikings). The contracts have now been processed through the league and the good folks at OverTheCap.
