The Baltimore Ravens signed veteran running back Mike Davis to a one-year deal, adding depth to their backfield that saw three running backs go down with season-ending injuries before the 2021 season began. The move was a solid one for Baltimore, as Davis can still be productive even in a backup role.
The details of Davis’ contract were reportedly released on Wednesday, and it seems as if the Ravens got a pretty good deal for a player such as Davis. According to ESPN’s Field Yates, Davis’ one-year deal is worth $1.2025 million. Yates added the contract was a veteran salary benefit deal with a $152.5k signing bonus.
