NFL trade grades, 2024 offseason: Steelers ace Justin Fields deal; Giants hit on Brian Burns (Carlton Davis - Lions Grade: B. TB Grade: B+. Detroit Desperately Searches for Secondary Answers: Volume 452. Last offseason's maneuvers didn't work out for GM Brad Holmes. Injuries struck Emmanuel Moseley and Chauncy Gardner-Johnson early, and Cam Sutton struggled. (This offseason, Gardner-Johnson signed with the Eagles, while Sutton was released after a domestic battery warrant was issued for his arrest.) This year, Holmes tried again by adding Davis. He fits the Lions' profile, as a rugged player who has played well in man coverage during his career. At his best, Davis can match up against a team's top receiver, allowing coverage to roll elsewhere. However, he's also going to cost $14.5 million on the final year of his contract and is coming off a down season where he was picked on at times. Davis missed five games due to injury in 2023 and has never played a full season. It could be a reoccurring nightmare for Detroit if injury issues strike again. The cost of a Day 2 pick -- even with the sixth-rounders coming back -- is nothing to sneeze at for a potential one-year rental. The Bucs needed space to keep the rest of their core together. Jettisoning Davis' contract was the move. Given his up-and-down play and injury history, the Bucs just couldn't count on Davis at that price tag. They still have Jamel Dean as a top-flight corner to lean on in 2024. Getting a third-round pick is a savvy move, and the cash dump allowed Jason Licht to retain his top targets and bring back safety Jordan Whitehead.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-trade-grades-2024-offseason-steelers-ace-justin-fields-deal-giants-hit-on-brian-burns
Ranking 2024 challengers to potential Chiefs three-peat (Top contenders - 5. Detroit Lions. 2023 finish: 12-5, advanced to NFC Championship. Top additions: OG Kevin Zeitler, DT D.J. Reader, CB Carlton Davis. Jared Goff may be more solid than spectacular under center, but a sterling offensive line goes a long way, and he's still got one with Zeitler coming aboard and Graham Glasgow returning to a unit also featuring star tackle Penei Sewell. The dynamic young duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown provides home run pop, and the front seven should be slightly improved, too. The biggest hurdle might be recovering from 2023's emotional road back to the playoffs under never-say-die coach Dan Campbell.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-top-2024-challengers-to-potential-chiefs-three-peat-bengals-texans-among-11-candidates-to-explode/
