We will preview every player on the Cardinals roster leading up to training camp. This is about CB Jaden Davis.
The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team.
Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2024, questions they face and their roster outlook.
Next up is cornerback Jaden Davis.
Jaden Davis background, 2024 season
Davis was selected out of Miami by the Cardinals in 2024 with the so-called “Tillman Pick,” 226th overall in the seventh round of the draft. That’s the slot where safety Pat Tillman was chosen in the 1998 draft.
Davis did not survive the roster reduction to 53 players, but spent the entire season on the Cardinals practice squad. He won the Pat Tillman Scout Team Player of the Week award for the practice work he did in preparation for the Week 16 game against the Panthers. Those weekly winners wear a No. 40 practice jersey, the number Tillman wore with the Cardinals.
Jaden Davis 2025 contract details, cap hit
Davis signed a one-year futures contract on Jan. 6 worth $840,000, which is also his salary-cap charge.
2025 questions, roster outlook
With a year of practice under his belt, Davis hopes to find a way to land a spot on the 53-man roster. Realistically, it will be difficult because of the other talent on hand, so there might be more time spent on the practice squad.
