The Tennessee Titans will reportedly decline the fifth-year option on wide receiver Corey Davis while picking up the fifth-year option on cornerback Adoree Jackson according to John Glennon of The Athletic.
Although it is guaranteed for injury only, Davis would be due roughly $15.8 million under the option and his level of play in his first three seasons in the NFL has not come close to justifying that amount. The No. 5 overall pick of the 2017 draft out of Western Michigan was easily passed on the depth chart by second-round rookie A.J. Brown in 2019. It would be unfair to label Davis an outright bust — he posted 891 yards in 2018 — but he has not had the look of a future No. 1 wideout. Davis does have youth on his side, having turned 25 just last month.
Jackson, who was selected No.18-overall in the same draft out of USC, has fared better-although at times he has frankly been more name than game. But 2019 was by far his strongest season for the on-the-ri8se Titans and his fifth-year option is more affordable at around $10 million in 2021.
I don't even recognize his name but he sounds pretty good.
