D.J. Davidson Leaves Giants for Commanders

About this episode

D.J. Davidson, a former New York Giants defensive tackle, has joined the Washington Commanders, seeking a larger role. The Giants, who drafted Davidson in 2022, have made minimal efforts to bolster their defensive line this offseason, contributing to his departure. From the 2022 draft class, only four players are expected to remain with the Giants by 2026. The teams only defensive line addition so far is depth player Sam Roberts. Head coach John Harbaugh has emphasized the importance of building strong offensive and defensive lines, indicating that the Giants are not yet done with their roster improvements.

It's April 1st. This is NFL News Today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Cory with the story. DJ Davidson just signed with the Washington commanders, jumping shift from his old team, the New York Giants, who play in the same division. The Giants drafted him in the fifth round back in 2022, and over four seasons, he suited up for 47 games with only two starts. Notching 2.5 sex and 49 tackles as a backup guy. The Giants have stayed quiet on beefing up their defensive tackle spot this off season, which pretty much sealed Davidson's exit. He's now heading to a direct rival in the NFC East, looking for a bigger role. From that 2022 draft class under General Manager Joe Shone, only four out of 11 picks might stick around for the Giants by 20. 26. Edge-Rusher K-Von Tipado and Linebacker Micah McFadden look solid for the roster, while offensive lineman Evan Neal and Josh Azudu get one last. Shot to turn things around.

So far, the Giants only defensive line addition is depth-p Sam Roberts, who has just two NFL starts across four years. But head coach John Harbaugh made it clear at the NFL owners meetings this week that they're far from finished. They've got until September to gear up, and Harbaugh's stressed building top tier offensive and defensive lines is priority one, since that's where. Battles get decided on the field.
