Report: Patriots restructure Cody Davis' contract to free up cap space

The New England Patriots will have a little more extra cash to work with after Tuesday's maneuvering.

The Patriots and special teamer Cody Davis have agreed to a "slightly re-worked" contract that will create about $250,000 in cap space for New England, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

Davis plays a valuable role on special teams but suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 6. His new deal doesn't include extra years, so he'll still be a free agent after the 2022 season, per Reiss.

The Patriots could use some financial breathing room, as only two NFL teams (the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills) have less cap space, per Over The Cap.
