Davis has played in 55 games and started in 54 for the Tennessee Titans over the past four seasons. He started 12 games in the 2022 season, and his experience and skillset will likely be a valuable addition to the Bears' front line. With this signing, along with the addition of linebacker T.J. Edwards and wide receiver DJ Moore, who was acquired in a trade involving the first overall draft pick, the Bears are looking to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
While Davis is better at run blocking than pass protection, he is still considered to be solid in both aspects. The main concern with Davis has been his injury history, as he has only played a full season once. With the Bears missing out on top offensive tackle options like Mike McGlinchey and Jawaan Taylor, the team has turned its attention to the interior, signing Davis instead. This move suggests that the Bears may be focusing on drafting a tackle with the ninth overall pick instead of overspending in free agency.
