2025 Arizona Cardinals training camp roster preview: CB Jaden Davis
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.

2025 Arizona Cardinals offseason roster profile: CB Jaden Davis
2025 Arizona Cardinals offseason roster profile: CB Jaden Davis A look at CB Jaden Davis, what he did in 2024, his contract status and his outlook on the team for 2025. The Arizona Cardinals are in offseason mode and we are days away from free agency and weeks from the NFL draft. Leading up to the new league year, we will take a look at each player on the roster or signed to a reserve deal and break down where they stand with the team. We will look at their 2024 season, their contract status and what their status is for the coming offseason and 2025 season. Next up is cornerback Jaden Davis. 2024 Jaden Davis stats, season The so-called 'Pat Tillman pick,' Davis was selected with the 226th overall choice in the seventh round of the draft, the same slot in which Tillman was picked by the Cardinals in 1998. Davis spent the entire season on the practice squad, and earned the team's Pat Tillman Scout Team Player of the Week for his work in practice during the week of preparation for the Week 16 game against the Carolina Panthers. He wore Tillman's jersey No. 40 the following week as the Cardinals got ready to play the Los Angeles Rams. 2025 contract status Davis signed a reserve/futures contract on Jan. 6 and once the Super Bowl was over officially became a part of the offseason roster. Because he did not earn a credited season in 2024, his salary if on the roster during the regular season will be the first-year minimum of $840,000. Outlook for 2025 Davis got experience in preseason games and on the practice squad in 2024, but there will have to be a big improvement to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. His best hope might be another season on the practice squad. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.
