A sensible depth re-signing that keeps continuity in Cincinnati's secondary. Multiple outlets covered the return, with one noting his impact extends well beyond statistics. His ball-tracking ability, highlighted by an impressive interception clip, signals genuine playmaking upside. Fans are encouraged by the familiarity factor, avoiding an unknown commodity in the nickel role. Davis likely slots as a reliable rotational corner with starting potential if injuries strike.

This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Cincinnati Bengals — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Jalen's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL CBs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.6M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the CB market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Jalen is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The one-year deal minimizes the team's financial risk, effectively making this a prove-it contract.
