The Washington Commanders made an addition to their secondary on Monday, signing cornerback Michael Davis, the team announced.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The team had a need at the position after Kendall Fuller agreed to a deal with the Miami Dolphins last week.
Davis joins running back Austin Ekeler as prominent Chargers free agents to sign with the Commanders during the free agency period.
Since signing a three-year, $25.2 million extension with the Chargers after the 2020 season, Davis has shown promise, but his play took a step back in 2023 -- partly, he said, because of the team's mishaps in the cornerback room.
The team rotated between J.C. Jackson and Davis early in 2023, which Davis said hurt his ability to get into a rhythm. The Chargers eventually traded Jackson ahead of Week 5.
Even with Jackson gone, Davis wasn't the player he was in 2022, allowing career highs of 13.8 yards per completion and 9 yards per target, and he was benched for multiple games by then-coach Brandon Staley.
In 2022, Davis had a career-high 15 passes deflected and allowed career lows of 9.9 yards per completion and 4.4 yards per target while filling in for Jackson, who was injured.
Ultimately, Davis is a quick and lengthy corner (6-foot-2, 196 pounds, 4.35 40-yard dash) who has proved he can play at a high level.
He was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2017, and by his third season Davis was a starter, securing two interceptions that year. After a 2020 season in which he had a career-high three interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, Davis signed his extension.
