"None of Rivera's first four-round selections remain with the club. Some were removed from the equation before Peters' arrival, while others were either traded or released soon after. One of those was linebacker Jamin Davis, who failed to make a successful transition to the edge-rushing role and was waived during the 2024 campaign. It looked from a long way as if Davis was never going to meet his draft billing."
"Perhaps most concerning for Davis is his failure to catch on elsewhere. Spells with the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and New York Jets ended almost as quickly as they started. The Las Vegas Raiders felt there was something to be salvaged, signing the former Kentucky standout to the practice squad before moving him to the active roster. Davis even got some game time in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys, gaining three tackles from 19.3 percent of Las Vegas' defensive snaps."
"The Raiders released Davis before their daunting Week 14 test versus the Denver Broncos. There is a chance he goes back onto the practice squad, but there is just no telling for sure right now. And it's starting to look like the once-promising college prospect is on a one-way trip out of the league. This is a sad trajectory for Davis. He had talent, but Rivera overdrafted him and tasked him with responsibilities he wasn't ready for, which didn't suit his ph"

None of Ron Rivera's first four-round selections remain with the club. Linebacker Jamin Davis failed to transition to an edge-rushing role and was waived during the 2024 campaign. Short stints with Green Bay, Minnesota, and the Jets ended quickly before the Raiders signed him, elevated him from the practice squad, and briefly used him in Week 11. The Raiders released Davis before Week 14, and his career now appears at risk amid questions about role fit and overdrafting.
