Thomas Davis Sr. Fantasy Stats

The Washington Football Team released veteran linebacker Thomas Davis on Wednesday. Davis had announced back in December that he would be retiring after the 2020 season. The soon-to-be 38-year-old finished his lone season with Washington with just six tackles and a pass defensed in seven games played (no starts). He spent one year with the Chargers in 2019, but before that he spent 13 years of his career in his prime with the Carolina Panthers. A three-time Pro Bowler from 2015-17, including one first-team All-Pro selection, Thomas will finish his career with 1,216 total tackles (90 for loss), 13 interceptions, 55 passes defensed, 18 forced fumbles, 11 fumble recoveries (one touchdown) and 29 sacks in 15 NFL seasons.

Washington Football Team linebacker Thomas Davis, who is playing in his 16th NFL season in 2020, announced on his Twitter account that this will be his final season. Washington plays on Sunday night against the Eagles, and if they don't win that game, Week 17's contest could be the final game of the 37-year-old's impressive career. Drafted 14th overall out of Georgia in the first round by the Panthers in 2005, Davis was a Pro Bowler with Carolina from 2015-17 and was a first-team All-Pro selection in 2015 when he had 105 tackles, four interceptions and 5.5 sacks. He's heading into what could be his final game with 1,216 career tackles, 61 QB hits, 13 interceptions, 11 fumble recoveries and 29 sacks in 199 career games.

The Washington Redskins and linebacker Thomas Davis have agreed to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Davis and head coach Ron Rivera worked together in Carolina, where the veteran linebacker had some of his best seasons as a professional. He turns 37 on March 22, but Davis proved his age was just a number in 2019 with the Chargers, racking up 112 tackles (65 solo), three tackles for loss, two QB hits, one sack and two passes defensed in all 16 games. Staying healthy will be key, but don't expect Davis to be a huge contributor in IDP leagues in Washington. The Redskins may choose to use him as a rotational player to keep him healthy.

The Washington Redskins could make a run at free-agent linebacker Thomas Davis after he was released by the Chargers on Friday. Davis played in Carolina for more than 10 years, including from 2011 to 2018 with Ron Rivera, the new head coach of the Redskins. While playing under Rivera, Davis made three Pro Bowls and was named an All-Pro in 2015. He'll turn 37 in a few weeks, but the veteran had 112 tackles with the Bolts in 2019 and would help Rivera establish the culture he wants in D.C. But if Davis doesn't decide to retire, don't be surprised if Washington at least brings him in for a visit. For fantasy purposes in IDP leagues, Davis will probably find it tough to match the production he had with LA last season.

The Los Angeles Chargers announced the release of linebacker Thomas Davis and defensive tackle Brandon Mebane on Friday. Davis had 112 tackles (65 solo) in his one and only season with the Bolts, and it was his highest tackle total since he had 123 (85 solo) in 2013 with the Panthers. The three-time Pro Bowler could still be productive with another team and could be a streaming IDP option if he continues his career in 2020. Mebane played four seasons with the Chargers and became one of just three nose tackles in the NFL with an interception and at least 450 career tackles.

When the Los Angeles Chargers signed 36-year-old linebacker Thomas Davis over the offseason, the question was whether he would still have it. That seems to be clear now. After two weeks, Davis is tied with former Defensive Player of the Year and former teammate Luke Kuechly for the league lead in tackles. It's been a blessing that the Davis signing has worked out so well since the Chargers Defense is riddled with key injuries. After losing Derwin James before the season, LA lost Adrian Phillips in the Detroit game. The continued losses means it's a tough sell to believe the Chargers defense can hold up against Deshaun Watson and company, but Davis will certainly be leading the charge.

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Thomas Davis may be a new addition to the squad, but he's one of the most experienced hands a team can find. Originally drafted in 2005, Davis spent 13 years with the Carolina Panthers before heading off to sunny southern California. Davis has been named to multiple All-Pro teams, three Pro Bowls, and won the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award in 2014, and even though he may be a bit long in the tooth, he's only one year removed from one of the Pro Bowl teams. While the veteran presence is valuable, coaches and teammates have expressed shock at how much energy and drive he still has. If Davis can still play at a high level and stay healthy, he could turn LA's defense into a beast.

The Los Angeles Chargers are signing free-agent linebacker Thomas Davis to an undisclosed deal. The Panthers all-time leader in tackles spent 14 years in Carolina but served a four-game suspension in 2018 and had 79 tackles and six passes defensed in 12 games. Davis will help upgrade the Bolts at outside linebacker, but he could be rotated in on defense to preserve him for the full season. Even though he has 1,094 career tackles, 28 sacks, 51 passes defense, 13 interceptions, 18 forced fumbles and 11 fumble recoveries, Davis is a player near the end of his career.

Carolina Panthers veteran linebacker Thomas Davis said he doesn't want to end his career in 2018 "on a sour note" due to his four-game suspension. Id like to come back (after 2018) if the team will gave me back," Davis said. In his prime, Davis was a tackling machine, racking up 100-plus tackle seasons from 2012 to 2016. He had just 76 tackles in 2017, though, and the 35-year-old is expected to be more of a rotation player moving forward.

Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis said he is open to playing past the 2018 season. Im very open to the possibility of playing next season, said Davis. You havent been listening. Im VERY OPEN. The 35-year-old Davis posted 100-tackle seasons from 2012 to 2016 with the Panthers and was one of the very best linebackers in the league. However, he dipped to just 76 tackles in 2017 and is expected to play more of a rotation role this season in order to keep him fresh and healthy. That obviously hurts his IDP value.
