🏈Lions receive: CB Carlton Davis, Buccaneers 2024 6th-round pick and a 2025 6th-round pick.
🏈Buccaneers receive: Lions 2024 third-round pick.
The veteran cornerback is owed $14 million this year, but with a trade usually comes some sort of renegotiation.
During the 2023 season, Davis started in 12 games for the playoff-bound Buccaneers as he totaled 52 tackles with 40 solos, 12 assisted tackles, nine pass deflections, and two interceptions.
His talents were on full display inside Ford Field during the NFC Divisional Round as he accumulated seven solo tackles in the 31-23 defeat against the Lions.
