Davis’ return to the 49ers was a very strange situation from the get go.
At the start of the season, the 49ers had Davis listed on their practice report as not participating in practice for a non-injury related reason.
Soon after that, reports mentions that Davis was again weighing the possibility of retiring from the NFL, even though he returned to the team a few months prior.
Davis, 27, is a former first-round pick who still has five years remaining on his seven-year, $39.67 million contract that included $17 million guaranteed. At the time of his retirement, he was set to make base salaries of $1.85 million (2015), $2.65 million (2016), $4 million (2017), and $5.375 million (2018-2019).
In 2014, Davis was limited appearing in seven games for the 49ers due to a number of injuries including a concussion, knee and hamstring issues.
