Jamin Davis - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Joining Steelers Pittsburgh signed Davis to a one-year contract Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

Impact Davis was cut by Las Vegas back in April, and now he'll be linking up with his fourth different team in as many years. All of two-time Pro Bowler Patrick Queen, 2024 third-rounder Payton Wilson, Malik Harrison and veteran Cole Holcomb are expected to contribute at inside linebacker for Pittsburgh in 2026, which doesn't leave much room for the free agent signing Davis to make an immediate impact.

Through a five-year career, the 2021 first-round pick has now played for three teams. Davis recorded 76 or more tackles in each of his first three NFL campaigns, but he has finished with 18 or fewer in each of the last two.

Waived by Las Vegas The Raiders waived Davis on Tuesday.

Impact The move corresponds with the Raiders signing cornerback Greedy Vance to the 53-man roster. Davis was signed to Las Vegas' active roster Nov. 11 and logged three tackles (one solo) in Week 11 against the Cowboys, but he was a healthy inactive in Weeks 12 and 13. Assuming he clears waivers, Davis will look to catch on with a team seeking depth at linebacker.
