The Patriots have agreed to a three-year, $60 million contract with cornerback Carlton Davis, according to a Monday afternoon report from Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Davis, 28, plied his trade for the Detroit Lions last season after spending the first six years of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Davis doesn't think Detroit will make an aggressive effort to bring him back. He is looking to be paid like a "top 10 or top 15 cornerback."

Veteran Carlton Davis III, who joined the Lions via trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last offseason, has agreed to a monster three-year deal worth up to $60 million (with $34.5 million guaranteed) with the New England Patriots, according to multiple reports.
