Davis doesn't think Detroit will make an aggressive effort to bring him back. He is looking to be paid like a "top 10 or top 15 cornerback."

Carlton Davis contract with New England Patriots is for three years and $60 million in free agency, leaving Detroit Lions without their starting CB.

Veteran Carlton Davis III, who joined the Lions via trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last offseason, has agreed to a monster three-year deal worth up to $60 million (with $34.5 million guaranteed) with the New England Patriots, according to multiple reports.
