Cole initially signed with the Patriots as a free agent in March of 2012. He was re-signed at the end of the 2012 season, released on Sept. 1, 2013, and then re-signed a day later. So it’s been quite the month for the 29-year-old veteran. He started one game last year and played in a total of 14, intercepting one pass and recording 12 tackles.
Davis, meanwhile, signed with the Patriots as a rookie free agent following the 2013 NFL Draft. He played his college ball at Troy, where he was a standout safety. Davis figures to factor into the Patriots' plans on special teams in Week 4 against the Falcons on Sunday Night Football.
Unless an injury helps him get on the field, Davis’ role will likely be limited.
