If you put much stock in PFF ratings they have Davis as the #2 cornerback available after Grimes of the Dolphins - Davis is several years young. Grimes just signed a 4 yr/$32M contract with $16M guaranteed - I have also read that to franchise tag Davis will be over $11M - Davis has said he wants to be a Colt - we need a #1 corner - cost is going to be about what Grimes is getting - team friendly deal average 7.5 M - sign the guy to a 4 or 5 year deal that is structured to help the club have the money to sign 2012/2013 rookies when they come up for new contracts.
I read on someone else's post that maybe Grigson is gun shy after the fans have blistered him for his last years signings - I think Grigson realizes the only voice he needs to worry about is the owners - and as long as the team wins he should be okay- don't get conservative - talk to Pagano and then make fair offers - have a back up plan in place and then move forward. I honestly do think of all the free agent corner backs out there I would rather have Davis -
