Positive news on Kyle Van Noy

The overarching themes with Callahan and Van Noy are experience and versatility.....[stuff about Callahan]...Van Noy has played nine seasons in the league and won two Super Bowls with the Patriots. Staley has talked often this offseason about adding players with championship pedigree, and Van Noy certainly has that. There is your experience. Van Noy can also play multiple positions in the defense. He has produced as an edge rusher and an off-ball linebacker, so he can provide depth at two spots. He even wore the green dot as the defensive signal-caller during his time in New England. There is your versatility....

And [Coach Stanley] on Van Noy, speaking about his edge and off-ball flex: “His trademark has been that he can do either. He can play on the edge. He can play behind the ball. He’s a very versatile player, but what he does better than anything is he’s extremely instinctive. He’s a playmaker. He can make plays at both of those positions, and he can run the show. … We just feel like that versatility is really going to help us, and that championship experience. He’s a Super Bowl champion. He’s been a part of top-five defenses really wherever he’s been.”

Less positive for Michael Davis

the moves the Chargers made in the secondary this offseason have raised some questions about Michael Davis’ role in 2022. Davis signed a three-year, $25.2 million deal last offseason and has a cap hit of close to $10 million for this season. However, he does not have a starting job locked down. The Chargers could end up going with a combination of Jackson, Samuel and Callahan as their starting corner trio in nickel packages, with Davis on the bench as the fourth corner. They also drafted two corners on Day 3 in Ja’Sir Taylor and Deane Leonard.

I do not think Davis’ situation is as dire as Tillery’s. He should have a roster spot. But his path to playing time is a little more clouded now than it was at this time last year. Davis did not take to Staley’s scheme in 2021 as quickly or as effectively as the team was expecting. He has something left to prove.

“Vato’s gonna be right in the mix there,” Staley said of Davis. “It’s going to be very competitive in the secondary. I think what we’ve done is we’ve acquired a lot of depth in order to make it a competition. And I think that is what we were after, really in all phases of our team, but I think specifically on defense and in the kicking game. We really wanted to make sure that we get the best of the best out there so we can find out who those guys are going into next season that are going to compete, start, play for us, earn a role. And Mike is going to be right in the middle of that competition for us.”

Reading the cap situation, it's a near certainty that Davis wl stay on the roster this year and then be cut in the off-season. Needs to have a good year to have a strong market though
