Redskins plan to sign veteran LB Thomas Davis, a Ron Rivera favorite

Veteran LB Thomas Davis will team back up with his old coach Ron Rivera, this time in Washington.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Washington Redskins are planning to sign veteran linebacker Thomas Davis, who used to play under Ron Rivera with the Carolina Panthers.

Davis was reportedly mulling over retirement after being released by the Los Angeles Chargers earlier this offseason, but he will apparently be putting that off in order to join up with his longtime coach in the nation’s capital.

Davis has played 14 years in the NFL, and he was in Carolina for all of Rivera’s tenure, standing as one of the most stable players for the organization. It is no surprise that Davis will be coming to Washington to help add depth to the Redskins linebacking core.

In 2019 with the Chargers, Davis started all 16 games and racked up 112 total tackles with three tackles for loss.
