After signing him to a 2nd round tender ($2.5M), JAX just cut him. He's 6'2" 270, a little short, but has the profile of a Marinelli DE (was playing some OLB for JAX too). He was drafted in 2012, and has 10 sacks in last 2 years. More than we can say for many of our unproven DE's. Also, according to Pro Football Focus: "Davis only played 250 snaps last season, but he made the most of them. He finished with 3.5 sacks while earning PFF's 19th-highest pass rushing grade among 4-3 defensive ends. Davis turned 27 last month." This is exactly the kind of young DE (like Irving) that we should snatch up sitting at #3 on waivers.

Wrong Jags DE IMO. Pick up Tyrone Holmes. Had a great pre season and puts pressure on the QB.
Like him too, but Davis has been in the league 4 years and can step right in. Holmes is smaller (250lbs) and a rookie. More of a developmental guy. But can't argue with his production in FCS and this preseason. Would be happy with either.

Forget him. He is not subject to waivers which means he is a free agent and we have whiffed on most we have made a stab at lately.

Like I said in the Holmes thread, OScandrick is the team leader in sacks with 9.5, so we need some help......sign em both

He looked pretty decent at the end of the game when they finally put him in.
