Davis, who will play in his seventh NFL season in 2019, signed with the Jaguars as an unrestricted free agent in the 2018 offseason. He led the team with 10 special teams tackles this past season.
Seferian-Jenkins’ option was for $4 million. He now becomes an unrestricted free agent next month, the second consecutive offseason he is a free agent.
