tweeted Monday, “The Jets also claimed former Vikings LB Jamin Davis, a 2021 first-round pick by Washington. To make room, they waived K Anders Carlson and placed S Chuck Clark on IR.”
Davis has participated in nine games for the Commanders and Vikings this season, tabulating 18 total tackles, including a sack, on 107 defensive snaps. He’ll join this Jets off-ball linebacking corps:
- Quincy Williams
- Jamien Sherwood
- Chazz Surratt
- Sam Eguavoen
- Marcelino McCrary-Bell
- Jamin Davis
- Jackson Sirmon (Practice Squad)
- C.J. Mosley (IR)
- Jimmy Ciarlo (IR)
Here’s Davis’ NFL resume to date:
- Washington Commanders (2021–2024)
- Green Bay Packers (2024)
- Minnesota Vikings (2024)
- New York Jets (2024)
It’s worth noting that the Jets were eliminated from postseason contention weeks ago, so Davis and his teammates will play for pride this weekend against the Miami Dolphins.
Pro Football Focus resume to date:
- 2021: 46.8
- 2022: 62.9
- 2023: 67.6
- 2024: 51.1 (limited snaps)
Davis’ skill set is somewhat similar to Pace Jr.’s — he’s at his best rushing the passer and helping to stuff the run, but his pass coverage is suspect.

<p>Davis turned 26 a few weeks ago and will likely hit the free-agent pool in 2.5 months after the Jets pit stop. </p>
