When the Chicago Bears signed Mike Davis, many saw this as a move that did not affect Jordan Howard. It could be looked at as more of a Benny Cunningham replacement. He may not be a direct replacement over Jordan Howard-Davis’ career-high 112 carries last year is less than half of a career low for Howard. However, he surely is not a direct Cunningham replacement. Cunningham had 11 carries last season and made $800K.
Davis is 26 years old and signed for $3 million per year over the next two seasons. He is going to be much more involved than Benny Cunningham.
