NFL Notes: Anthony Davis, 49ers, Jets, Patriots & Texans

Anthony Davis

• Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that 49ers OL Anthony Davis‘ recent retirement will owe the team $1.235 million in 2016, which is 14/17ths of his signing bonus money he received previously.
• If Davis is still retired next year, Florio mentions that he would also owe San Francisco $1.5 million.
• Had Davis stuck with the team in 2015 and forced them to cut him, he would have pocketed over $4.4 million, according to Florio.

Jets

New Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins didn’t offer much regarding his recent DUI arrest that led to him being cut by the Buccaneers.

“It’s a legal matter,” Seferian-Jenkins said Thursday, via Rich Cimini of ESPN. “I can’t explain that at this time.”

Seferian-Jenkins did, however, say he was “thankful” for the opportunity with the Jets.

“I have to hold up my end of the bargain and do what’s expected of me,” Seferian-Jenkins said. “I’m looking forward to it. I’m going to take full advantage of my opportunities.”

Patriots

• Mike Giardi of CSN New England reports that QB Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) is “making good strides” and the “arrow is pointing in the right direction” for him to play in Week 4.
• Giardi admits that Garoppolo is still sore, but his range of motion has improved significantly.

Texans

• Mark Berman reports that Texans HC Bill O’Brien is taking over play-calling duties from offensive coordinator George Godsey after the team’s recent struggles.
