Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star writes that impending free agent CB Vontae Davis has been “adamant” that he wants to be back with the Colts next season.
According to Holder, the feeling is mutual as Colts GM Ryan Grigson has made it clear re-signing Davis to a contract extension remains one of their top offseason priorities.
The Colts sent the Dolphins a second-round pick in return for Davis who has stepped in and filled an important role for their defense. Replacing him in the free agent market would likely end up being very costly, so there is a large incentive in place for Indianapolis to get an extension worked out with Davis in the coming weeks.
Davis, 25, was clearly the Colts best defensive back this season and was rated as the No. 3 cornerback by Pro Football Focus. In 2013, he produced, 46 tackles, one interception and 12 passes defensed.
We have Davis listed as the No. 17 player in our Top 50 Free Agents list.
