Former Browns LB Tae Davis Signs With Texans

Though the terms of the deal have not been released, it is reportedly a one year contract.

Tae Davis’s Career With the Browns

Davis came to the Browns from the New York Giants who signed him as an UDFA in 2018.

He was waived by the Giants in October 2019 and picked up by the Browns.

Davis was a restricted free agent.

Last week, the Browns announced that they were not offering Davis a tender.

Davis played in 13 games in 2020, mostly on special teams.

He recorded 7 special teams tackles.

His salary was $750,000.

A tendered offer to Davis would have come with a $2.13 million price tag.

After letting J.J. Watt walk out the door, it is unclear what the Texans plan to do to turn the franchise around.

They have been very busy in free agency (more than 10 free agents reportedly added to the roster) despite ignoring the proverbial elephant in the room.

Most of the free agent deals are for one year though there are a few two-year deals.

By far the most interesting signing is that of quarterback Tyrod Taylor who agreed to a one-year $12.5 million contract.

Is he the Plan B should Deshaun Watson decide to sit out the season?

Could the Texans be working another deal at quarterback?

There has been no indication that they are open to a trade.

Among the most serious in pursuit of Watson are the Carolina Panthers.

More free agent surprises are expected though it appear patience is a necessity in 2021.
