Mike Davis not tendered

Seems like an odd move considering it would have only cost $XXX. Seemed like he'd have a role, especially at that salary.

Editing to say tender actually $1.9m - minimum salary is $705k, which is probably closer to what they want to pay.

Yeah, this is surprising..........He showed a lot of promise.

$1.9 million is the tender. They will probably try to sign him for a million less than that.

Wow, kind of unexpected. He looked like he might be a keeper.

no reasoning to this move

The meat of the tweet was cutoff. Seattle wants to resign him for significantly less then the tender.

He's not worth the tender. He flashed some ability except for a huge one - DURABILITY. He's not getting 1.9 M on the open market IMO.

I don't remember him being injured.

This was expected due to the tender price. They hope to resign him cheaper. Emphasis on hope. He can now sign anywhere knowing that Carson is firmly planted ahead of him. He could have a chance at more PT elsewhere. Emphasis on chance on his part.

1.9 mil was too much. Especially with this draft.

As others have pointed out, Mike Davis is simply not worth 1.9M on a cap strapped team.

He was on our practice squad for most of the season and did not generate any interest. If he does return, it will be at the vet minimum I would imagine.

With Carson, Procise, Madden, and McKissic on board, the tender is just too much

Really curious what will happen with Dion Jordan though... no news on him or Avril is interesting

McKissic is really the only one who threatens him. Prosise and Madden aren't worth much, and if you listen to Sgt. Largent, Carson is due to spontaneously explode into a red cloud of meat and bones any day now.

Give me Prosise and Lynchs durability and then were talking, Give me Madden and Prosise's or Lynchs speed and then were talking, standing alone McKissic is the only one that stands out and he was a after thought till everyone else went down with one exception Mike Davis and he was last man standing as our pounder.

I don't agree, really, I think all of them show potential to contribute. Davis, IMO, doesn't do anything special that those guys can't, at least not at $1.9M per.

Madden is a FB, y'all.

We have 2 RBs under contract and 2 FBs.

Oh god I hope rawls isn't signed instead....garbage.

Pete isn't signing Rawls after that pathetic celebration when he broke one for 10-12 yards then lost 15 from penalty celebrating. Kiss of death after what he showed last year.

Davis was our only back who they trusted with screen passes, so I'm sure they'd like him back to cover the unlikely situation that Prosise does not play all 16 games. Maybe McKissic can grow a little there in the offseason.

As others have said, not paying Davis $1.9m under the tender is indicative of nothing.

Davis on a minimum deal and give him a chance to make the team. Hoping we get a Vet in the $2-4M range and a 1st-3rd rd RB.
