The 2026 league year is coming next month. It officially begins on March 11, with the legal negotiating period beginning on March 9.
The Arizona Cardinals have many roster decisions to make before then.
Leading up to the new league year, we will profile every player on the roster, go over what they did last season, what their contract status is and what they face in 2026.
Next up is cornerback Jaden Davis .
Jaden Davis 2025 season
Davis, a 2024 seventh-round pick who spent his entire rookie season on the practice squad, also spent most of 2025 on the practice squad. He was cut out of camp but not re-signed to the practice squad, was signed to it for three weeks, cut and off for two and then re-signed for the rest of the season.
He was elevated to the active roster for the final three games of the season.
He played in three games, logging three total tackles, including one on special teams. He played 38 snaps on defense and 24 on special teams.
Jaden Davis contract status
Davis, following the season, signed a futures deal to return in 2026. He will make just over $1 million in salary if he makes the team and will count that same amount against the practice squad.
Jaden Davis offseason outlook
It will be another offseason to prove himself. He will get to battle for a roster spot, but he is likely a longshot to makes, although his ability to play in the slot does bring value as depth.
