During the season, Davis had two game ending plays against the Houston Texans. When the Jaguars played the Texans in Houston in November, Davis made a game ending interception. In a December victory in Jacksonville, Davis sacked Houston quarterback Matt Schaub while the Texans did not have any timeouts remaining and the clock ran out.

2014

Davis was active for all 16 games as part of the defensive line rotation and had a career high 6.5 sacks on the year.

2015

He played in 14 games as a backup at defensive end and finished with 3.5 sacks.

2016

On September 3, 2016, he was released by the Jaguars, who were going younger at the defensive end position with the additions of Dante Fowler Jr. and Yannick Ngakoue.

Dallas Cowboys

On September 13, 2016, Davis was signed as a free agent by the Dallas Cowboys, who were looking to improve their depth at the defensive end position with the suspensions to DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory.

He was declared inactive for the second game of the season and missed two additional contests with a strained hamstring. Against the Cincinnati Bengals, his role in the defensive line rotation increased after passing defensive end Benson Mayowa on the depth chart, but because he didn't have an impact pressuring the quarterback, Mayowa regained his spot against the Minnesota Vikings. Davis was declared inactive in three games, before being activated against the Detroit Lions, but suffered a knee injury and did not play many snaps. He was placed on the injured reserve list on December 28. He finished the season with 3 tackles and 6 quarterback pressures.

Buffalo Bills

On March 13, 2017, Davis signed with the Buffalo Bills, who were changing to a 4-3 defense under new head coach Sean McDermott.
