Linebacker Tae Davis, who joined the Panthers halfway through the previous season, has decided to stay with the team for the upcoming 2024 season. The Panthers have announced that they have reached a new contract agreement with Davis, although the specifics of the deal were not disclosed. According to Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer, it is a one-year contract.
Davis initially began playing for the Falcons in the first half of last season, but he was released in November after appearing in eight games. Following his release, he quickly signed with the Panthers and went on to play eight more games for them. Throughout his time with both teams, Davis primarily contributed to special teams and recorded seven tackles.
With experience playing for teams like the Browns and Giants, Davis is expected to be utilized more this season due to changes being made to kickoffs in the league. His ability to cover kicks will be crucial for the Panthers moving forward as they look to improve their performance on special teams. Overall, Davis’ decision to remain with the Panthers signals a positive outlook for his future with the team and bodes well for their prospects in 2024.
