The Detroit Lions are facing a critical free agency period with several key defensive players, notably cornerback Carlton Davis, expected to move into the market. Davis, who joined from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, made significant contributions before suffering a fractured jaw that ended his season early. Despite this setback, he remains a sought-after asset, projected to secure a lucrative three-year contract worth $42 million and $25 million guaranteed. His performance, including two interceptions and a strong defensive rate, reinforces his value in a competitive free agency landscape.
