Carl Davis has caught on in Washington again.
The former Patriots defensive tackle signed a new deal with the Commanders on Tuesday, according to the team. Davis initially signed with Washington’s practice squad last October and appeared in three games down the stretch. He was also active in the NFC Championship Game, registering five tackles in 54 snaps as Washington fell to Philadelphia.
A Ravens third-rounder in 2015, the run-stuffing defender tackle spent three seasons in the rotation on New England’s defensive line (2020-22). Davis was cut by the Patriots at the end of training camp in 2023 and was blunt about the summer he’d had.
“Look I don’t need no sympathy because I got released. This is business. And I ain’t do enough to keep myself in the door. I hold myself accountable. I got caught slipping. I wasn’t playing dominant enough as I know I can,” Davis wrote on social media. “Don’t message me with the ‘I’m sorry Carl, they made a mistake’ no tf they didn’t. If a mf say Carl I need you to run through a brick wall to be on this team. (Well) guess what. Run through the wall!”
Davis then spent time on Seattle and Dallas’ practice squads in 2023, appearing in three games for the Cowboys, before landing in Washington last season.
