Demario Davis

The Saints and LB Demario Davis have agreed to a reworked deal. The deal is a two-year, $17.25M contract with $13.25M guaranteed.

Davis was in the final year of his contract, so this also ensures some security for Davis. The 35-year-old will likely finish out his time with the Saints if he plays out the remainder of this reworked deal.

The New Orleans Saints are ruling LB Demario Davis as active for Thursday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Last season he was a Pro Bowler, and this year he has 38 tackles, four QB hits and four TFLs in six games. His presence will be crucial against the Jaguars, with a talented RB in Travis Etienne and mid-field receiving threats in WR Christian Kirk and TE Evan Engram.
