Jordan Schultz reports that the Falcons are releasing RB Mike Davis after signing him to a two-year $5.5 million deal last offseason.
Davis, 29, is a former fourth-round pick of the 49ers back in 2015. He spent just over two years in San Francisco before he was waived and claimed off waivers by the Seahawks.
From there, Davis was on and off of the Seahawks’ roster before signing a two-year, $6 million contract with the Bears in 2019. Chicago waived Davis in order to protect a compensatory pick and he was claimed by the Panthers.
Davis played out the remainder of his contract in Carolina and was tested the open market, signing a two-year deal with the Falcons. He had one year left on the deal when he was released.
In 2021, Davis appeared in all 17 games for the Falcons and rushed 138 times for 503 yards (3.6 YPC) and three touchdowns. He also caught 44 passes for 259 yards (5.9 YPC) and one touchdown.
We will have more news on Davis as it becomes available.
