The Falcons are set to sign running back Mike Davis to a two-year contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). The former Falcons running back will earn $5.5MM in the deal with $3MM fully guaranteed in the first year.
Davis filled-in for Christian McCaffrey last year and turned in a solid year with 1,015 all-purpose yards and eight total touchdowns. Even though his averages of 3.9 yards per carry and 6.3 yards per grab weren’t quite CMC numbers, Davis demonstrated his value as a reliable and durable veteran.
Before that, the 28-year-old joined the Panthers as a waiver wire claim. Although he’s bounced around, Davis isn’t just a one-hit wonder. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry with the Seahawks in 2018 to go along with four rushing touchdowns.
Now, Davis will stay in the division as he joins Ito Smith and Qadree Ollison on Atlanta’s RB depth chart.
Not bad, good deal money wise…I bet he does pretty well in the Arthur Smith offense….hopefully
Get a new agent my guy. Devonte booker got more money and is definitely not better than Davis
Agreed. Age may have hurt Davis here though.
Should of gotten Phillip Lindsay
This is gonna be fantasy gold.
as a late round flyer I would agree…I wouldn’t make him RB2 quite yet. maybe an RB3 and definitely your 4th Rb bench spot
