TAMPA — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded veteran cornerback Carlton Davis to the Detroit Lions for a third-round draft pick on Monday.
The Bucs selected Davis in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He intercepted two passes last season and had nine interceptions in six years in Tampa Bay.
Davis gives the Lions experience and talent in their secondary, which was often picked apart last season, in exchange for the 92nd overall pick in the NFL draft.
The 27-year-old Davis started 10-plus games in each of his six seasons with the Buccaneers. The former Auburn star has played a total of 76 games.
