Lions Acquire CB Carlton Davis from Buccaneers in Strategic Trade

The trade, involving a third-round draft pick, aims to strengthen the Lions' secondary while giving the Buccaneers cap relief.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded cornerback Carlton Davis to the Detroit Lions, receiving a third-round draft pick in return.
Davis, known for his strong performance and experience, is expected to significantly bolster the Lions' secondary.
The trade allows the Buccaneers to free up $6 million in cap space, aiding their efforts to re-sign key free agents.
Despite Davis's talent, his injury history has been a concern, with the cornerback never playing a full season since being drafted in 2018.
The Lions' acquisition of Davis addresses a critical need in their defense, aiming to improve upon their deep playoff run in 2023.
