Steelers Trading For 6-Year Veteran Offensive Lineman Jesse Davis

The Pittsburgh Steelers were desperately in need of an offensive lineman and they decided to make a trade for one minutes before the 4pm deadline to cut down to 53. They acquired Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Jesse Davis. The trade for Davis came minutes after the announcement that offensive tackle Joe Haeg was released.

Davis had signed this offseason with the Vikings after spending the first five years of his career with the Miami Dolphins. Davis has started 72 of his 80 career games with the Dolphins. He has the ability to play all over the offensive line, but some believe his best skill set is at offensive guard.

With it only costing the Steelers a conditional 7th round pick in 2025 they basically are acquiring him for free.

Jesse Davis joins the Vikings after spending the past five years with the Miami Dolphins, earning 72 starts in 80 games played. In 2021, Davis started 14 games at right tackle and two games at left guard for the Dolphins. Known for his versatility, Davis is one of three players in Dolphins history to start games at four different positions (RT, RG, LG, LT), joining Jeff Dellenbach and Nate Garner. Davis is a two-time team captain (2020-21) and was the only player on Miami to play all of the team's offensive snaps (920) in 2018. Prior to joining the Dolphins, Davis spent time on the New York Jets (2016) and Seattle Seahawks (2015) practice squads. The Asotin, Washington, native went undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft and was a three-year starter at Idaho (2012-14), playing in 39 games with 27 starts, playing on the defensive line from 2010-12 before moving to the offensive side of the ball.
