Just this morning there was a tweet from Adam Schefter that hinted Davis would be on his way out west, but the details of this proposed union were widely regarded as make-or-break for this move.Thanks to Tom Pelissero, we now have an idea of what the Chargers offered that brought Davis across the country:Deals like this are often considered prove-it deals (with benefits!), where the team offers enough to bring a player in Uchenna Nwosu Color Rush Jersey , and holds the cards for an additional year if the experiment works. In all, the numbers seem to line up with what the Chargers are looking for: a veteran LB that is still performing at an above-average level.Most of the positives of Davis center around his 14 (soon to be 15) years of experience in the NFL. His 35 (soon to be 36) years on this Earth were the largest concern. That said, Davis was also punished for PED use last season, and he has three ACL tears to his name. There is certainly reason to be cautious, but at the same time there are upsides to the same player: he has Super Bowl experience, he has only missed a handful of games since 2013, and he was a very productive member of the Panthers last year (and many before that, as well).This move helps ease the pressure on getting one super-splash player to fill the holes in their roster. They now have a veteran that could and should play a lot of snaps Jahleel Addae Color Rush Jersey , but the flexibility to consider further free agents and, of course, draft picks.Coming off of successful 2018 campaigns, the Chargers and Chiefs are playing a much more toned-down game of wait-and-see when compared to their AFC West counterparts. I think that everyone in the room assumes that the Raiders are far from done with their surprises, and the Broncos seem to surprise everyone when we least expect it.-Jason “5.25 Million Photoshop Job” Michaels During the regular season, no NFL team used seven defensive backs on defense at the same time for more than 18 snaps in a game, but the Chargers blew that number away in Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Ravens.Per NFL Next Gen Stats, via Adam Schefter of ESPN Russell Okung Color Rush Jersey , the Chargers used seven defensive backs on 58 of their 59 defensive snaps. That look helped keep the Ravens offense from doing anything of note until they were down 20 points in the fourth quarter and safety Derwin James said after the game that the key was using speed in the face of Baltimore’s power rushing attack.“I fell like you need speed against that because I feel like we’re physical enough as DBs to play the blocks,” James said, via Steve Wyche of NFL Media. “I feel like we need speed against that offense.”The switch, which came two weeks after the Ravens beat the Chargers in L.A., didn’t hurt the Chargers pass rush as they came up with seven sacks and James said “rush and cover work together” when discussing how the extra defensive backs helped create problems in the pocket.They’ll need a new wrinkle for the Patriots next weekend, but Sunday’s outing was a good sign for defensive coordinator Gus Bradley’s ability to find one.
