He signed with the\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0organization but was cut later that summer.<\/p>\n<p>From there, Davis dropped out of the NFL for a couple of seasons according\u00a0to The Football Database, playing during The Spring League with the TSL Jousters. He later joined the USFL Houston Gamblers in spring of 2022 before making his NFL return that summer.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, Davis found a home with the Bengals, and he\u2019s been there ever since.<\/p>\n<p>The long-time Cincy staff favorite didn\u2019t appear in many regular season games with the Bengals (two total), but he did serve as organizational depth from 2022 through parts of 2024. He has three career regular season tackles and 1.5 preseason sacks.<\/p>\n<p>Davis has yet to record a regular season sack despite his preseason flashes. During his stint in the USFL, he logged 3.5 sacks as a member of the Gamblers.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Bolster Defensive Tackle With Montravius Adams on IR<\/h2>\n<p>The Davis signing aims to strengthen the depth behind\u00a0Keeanu Benton\u00a0with veteran\u00a0Montravius Adams\u00a0on the injured reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Pittsburgh already has\u00a0Breiden Fehoko\u00a0and\u00a0Jacob Slade employed on the practice squad at the position, but it\u2019s considered to be a weaker area of the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the deadline, certain members of the media even predicted that the Steelers could look to address the interior defensive line via trade, and perhaps general manager Omar Khan did. No move was made, however, and the swift D-tackle addition makes some sense in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>Davis weighs in at 6-foot-2 and 330 pounds. That puts the 28-year-old lineman on the smaller side compared to the rest of the Steelers DL, similar to Fehoko and Slade.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see if he does enough to stick around in Pittsburgh for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers Focus on Smart, Affordable Purchases at NFL Trade Deadline<\/h2>\n<p>The Athletic graded\u00a0the Steelers\u2019 two deadlines deals a \u201cB\u201d and a \u201cB+,\u201d with the general reaction being that they were low risk moves that could provide a notable impact.<\/p>\n<p>PennLive reporter\u00a0Nick Farabaugh discussed the exact details of each affordable trade return on November 5.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSources tell PennLive that the Steelers\u2019 [own] seventh-round pick will be heading to Green Bay in the\u00a0[Preston] Smith deal, not one of the two seventh-round picks they acquired in the\u00a0Kenny Pickett\u00a0trade,\u201d Farabaugh noted.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing: \u201cMeanwhile, whichever fifth-round pick ends up lower will be the one going\u00a0to the New York Jets [for Mike Williams]. The Steelers have their own fifth-round pick as well as the\u00a0Los Angeles Rams\u2019\u00a0fifth-round pick from the\u00a0Kevin Dotson\u00a0trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Per Farabaugh, Pittsburgh currently still holds every 2025 pick from the top four rounds, as well as one fifth and two sevenths \u2014 unless\u00a0Justin Fields\u00a0plays 51% of snaps. If he does, the conditional sixth rounder that was traded for Fields becomes a fourth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyThe Pittsburgh Steelers signed former Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Domenique Davis.
