He left Dallas because he knew that Roy Williams would always be ahead of him on the depth chart. So Davis signed a contract in Miami last summer to reunite with Sparano, Ireland and Parcells (Parcells absolutely loves this guy). But Davis got CUT and did not make the final-53 man roster in Miami. So he returned to Dallas and back to special teams.
He still wants a starting gig, and then Dallas releases Roy Williams and you would think that Davis would get his shot, right? Wrong, Dallas signs Gerald Sensabuagh.
Thing is Davis is a stand-out Special Teamer with EXCEPTIONAL leadership on the ST unit. But as eveidence by the Dolphins and Cowboys, he is not a starter.
I think Washington has a certifiable GEM in Doughty and they should not hinder his continued development by putting a career special teamer in the mix with him.

Doughty? Or do you mean Horton?
