Atlanta Falcons signing RB Mike Davis to a 2-year deal

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Atlanta is signing former Panthers RB Mike Davis to a two-year contract worth $5.5 million, with $3 million of it guaranteed in the first year of the deal.
Davis filled in for injured Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, and while he isn’t the play-maker McCaffrey is, he still racked up over 1,000 all-purpose yards in 2020 — 642 rushing yards and 373 receiving yards.
Signing Davis likely means the Falcons are out on free-agent RB Todd Gurley, who signed a one-year deal with the team last year.
Gurley had nine touchdowns last year, but his 3.5 yards per attempt was not what the team was hoping for

Falcons QB Matt Schaub retires after 16 NFL seasons

On Monday, during an end-of-the-season press conference, Falcons owner Arthur Blank told reporters that backup QB Matt Schaub, a 16-year NFL veteran, has officially retired.
Schaub’s career is pretty impressive in totality. While younger fans probably always think of him as Matt Ryan’s backup, Schaub got his start in Atlanta as a backup to Michael Vick way back in 2004.
After playing well in relief of Vick, the Texans traded for Schaub in 2007 where he was a starter for seven seasons.
For his career, Schaub has spent time with the Falcons, Texans, Ravens, & Raiders. He’s played in 155 games with 93 starts, throwing for 25,467 passing yards, 136 touchdowns, 91 interceptions, and a passer rating of 89.5.
Schaub’s departure leaves an opening for a backup quarterback in Atlanta, which Kurt Benkert the most likely candidate to fill after signing a futures contract on Monday
