Adding a cornerback opposite Christian Gonzalez would be a wise move.<\/p>\n<p>One player that has been suggested as a potential fit is Detroit Lions\u2019 cornerback Carlton Davis.<\/p>\n<p>Cam Garrity of USA Today Sports, as reported by The Providence Journal, believes New England could make a move for Davis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At 28, Davis is still in his prime and could command a sizable contract,&#8221; Garrity noted. &#8220;His addition would allow Jonathan Jones and Marcus Jones to play more naturally in the slot, while pairing Davis with Gonzalez to solidify the outside coverage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not only did Garrity mention the Patriots as a potential suitor, but he also speculated on the type of contract it might take to sign Davis. He predicts a three-year, $50 million deal.<\/p>\n<p>Davis played in 13 games for the Lions during the 2024 season before an injury sidelined him. He registered 56 tackles, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions, and 11 defended passes.<\/p>\n<p>Those numbers would be a major asset to the Patriots&#8217; secondary. He could form a formidable duo with Gonzalez, potentially making New England one of the most dangerous secondaries in the league.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">However, it&#8217;s important to note that this is merely a suggestion for a potential fit, not a report of official interest from the Patriots. Still, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see New England among the teams that pursue Davis during free agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patriots Encouraged to Target Lions Star The New England Patriots have been encouraged to pursue a standout defensive back from the Detroit Lions.
