Jarrad Davis : Free Agent Info ( 2021 season )

The Jets entered the day either 2nd or 3rd in the NFL in Salary Cap Space. They have been aggressive using the salary cap space, including them agreeing to a 1 year / 7 million contract with Jarrad Davis.

For the Lions, a $ 7 million salary cap amount would have been difficult to absorb for Jarrad Davis. If the Lions previous brass would have exercised the 5th Year option on Davis last spring, then the Lions could have tried to work out a 2 or 3 year contract with Davis with a noticeably lower 2021 salary cap number. If that failed, then remove the 5th Year option.

The good news is the Lions 2022 Compensatory Pick situation improved because of the contracts Jamal Agnew ( Jaguars ) and Jarrad Davis agreed to today.

I wonder if Jarrad Davis would have re-signed with the Lions under these same contract terms he signed with the Jets?

The decision makers ( at the very least Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia ) that lost confidence in Jarrad Davis are no longer with the Lions.
