Davis’ retirement news comes on the heels of legendary special-teamer Matthew Slater calling an end to his football career as well. Veteran Myles Bryant signed with the Houston Texans, and the Patriots released Chris Board in free agency.
The unit will basically be starting over under newly-hired special teams coach Jeremy Springer.
