The Atlanta Falcons and running back Mike Davis have agreed to a two-year contract worth up to $5.5 million with $3 million of it guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Davis shined last season playing for the NFC South rival Panthers. Carolina coach Matt Rhule and his staff quickly fell in love with Davis, who immediately was inserted into the offense this past season when Christian McCaffrey suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of a Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Without offensive coordinator Joe Brady having to drastically adjust the game plan, Davis went on to start 12 games for McCaffrey, who missed 13 games with injuries (ankle, shoulder, quad).
