The New England Patriots are expected to re-sign defensive tackle Carl Davis to a one-year deal, according to a report from the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan.
Davis came to the team in 2020, as he was signed off the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad in October. He’s signed two contract extensions for the Patriots—one in March 2021 and another one in April 2022. He had a productive 2022 season, recording 11 tackles, a sack, and a fumble recovery. He recorded at least one tackle in all the games he played in last season.
This move comes on the heels of New England re-signing corner Jonathan Jones. The Patriots have been busy the last couple of days with several transactions taking place.

Although this move may not generate headlines, this is an important depth move for a team that prides itself on defense. It will be intriguing to see what other moves the organization makes.
