The New England Patriots enter free agency week with a desperate need for an outside cornerback who can line up alongside elite corner Christian Gonzalez.

The veteran DB had a good lone season with Detroit
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded Carlton Davis to the Detroit Lions last year. Davis had a solid inaugural season with Detroit before an injury cut short his season. He recorded 56 tackles, two interceptions, and 11 pass deflections, allowing 42 receptions on 76 targets for 567 yards, two touchdowns, and a 77.0 passer rating in 13 starts. He suffered a season-ending broken jaw in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.
