Safety Cody Davis has agreed to terms with the Jaguars, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.

Davis spent five seasons with the Rams, becoming a core special teams player and reliable defensive back in the substitution packages. He played 118 snaps on special teams and 280 on defense in 2017, missing nine games with injuries.

In his five seasons with the Rams, Davis made two interceptions, seven pass breakups and 43 tackles.

He was a solid signing for the Jaguars, with Davis expected to carve out a role as a reliable backup in the secondary and as special teams ace.

That hurts...hes a damn good FS. I hope he starts in Jax.

 

[jrry32]

I'm sad. He will be missed.

 

[Stl2La]

Good for him.

 

[Jacobarch]

Damn.

 

[Merlin]

Shrewd addition by the Jags. Best of luck to him.

 

[fearsomefour]

Under rated guy.

 

[yrba1]

Great role player, best of luck for him

 

[Afro Ram]

Boo! Would have liked to keep this one, but I don't blame the guy.

I'm sad. He will be missed.

The Rams have a nice stable of young DB’s !!

I also think The Rams need to find & groom a FS with Joyner being overpaid.Cosy Davis didn’t show enough to be that stater. Yes he is an excellent special teams player as well as a Versatile safety

He was probably going to see less PT this season barring injury. With the amount of talent at CB there is probably going to be less 3 Safety sets. He's a good guy, I wish him luck.

Overpaid?

 

[Memento]

Good luck to Cody.

 

[wolfdogg]

Too bad for us. He's been in the league 5 years has only started a few games with 42 tackles 7 passes defended and 2 picks. Now he's gonna get paid again. His career numbers after 8 seasons will be like a starters 2 year stat line so pretty long and frutifull career for a backup.

 

[Corbin]

Contract details?

Cody Davis is a real Ram
He will be missed!

 

[So Ram]

Overpaid?

Yes - I don’t think he is a top 5 FS . IMO these position can be easily filed by drafting well later in the draft.

M. Stewart & Rodney McLoud we’re both udfa’s . Cody Davis was as well.
Mo Alexander was a Fisher guy who he over drafted & was lucky to get EJ Gaines.

For now it is a solid play to solidify the DB field. The addition after that really make it top notch !! The Rams have depth there so will see if Christian or Countess can step up into a backup role ?
Will see how The Rams fill the depth chart , but IMO Joyner is a mentor type player who they will build within the 53 for 2019.

Well he had his kid as a Ram as well as Ogletree & Quinn. Those were all real Rams !!

It’s just about building up your 53

For the longest time I thought he was Rich Coady, so, Davis played really well, because Rich Coady didn't.
