Patriots Make a $60 Million Splash with Cornerback Carlton Davis

Cornerback Carlton Davis made waves this weekend by declaring he wouldn’t shy away from asking for top dollar as he hit the free agency market. It appears his strategy paid off.

Reports indicate that Davis has struck a deal with the Patriots worth $60 million over three years, with $34.5 million of that sum guaranteed.

Traded from the Buccaneers to the Lions last season, Davis felt he undersold himself in his previous contract with Tampa. The Patriots are looking forward to seeing him prove his worth in this substantial investment over the coming years.

The team is also counting on the performances of edge rusher Harold Landry and linebacker Robert Spillane, who have both recently signed contracts with New England, to deliver solid returns.
