It looks like Keith Davis is moving on, and to where else, Miami.
Davis appears to be the next in line headed from the Cowboys to the Dolphins, who have reportedly agreed to terms with the free agent safety.
Davis visited in Miami on Monday and apparently it didn’t take long for him to be convinced.
And why not, he probably knows just as many coaches on Miami’s staff as he does with the Cowboys, not to mention Bill Parcells, the Dolphins’ vice president of football operations.
Davis spent five years with the Cowboys, joining the team in 2002 as a rookie free agent. He has been the team’s best special teams player the last four seasons, even serving as the special teams captain last year.
On Monday in Arlington, Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones didn’t sound as if the club had intentions of paying big bucks to Davis, who is viewed as a role player, more than a potential starter.
“(Special teams) is where we predominantly see his value,” Jones said of Davis. “We’ve got some good young safeties coming up, too. Courtney Brown and Pat Watkins are guys that have gotten better. I think they’ll continue to get better.”
Davis would become the second former Cowboys player to join the Dolphins in the last week, along with Jason Ferguson, who was traded for two sixth-round draft picks. Miami has also signed Sean Ryan, Joey Thomas, Trey Darilek and Matt Baker since the coaching regime of Tony Sparano, Paul Pasqualoni, Kacy Rodgers and Todd Bowles took over.
Davis would become the third Cowboys unrestricted free agent to sign with another club, joining Julius Jones (Seattle) and Jacques Reeves (Houston).
