Veteran linebacker Demario Davis is returning to the New York Jets on a two-year, $22 million contract, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The agreement reportedly includes $15 million in fully guaranteed money for the veteran defender.
This signing marks a reunion for Davis and the Jets organization. Now 37 years old, Davis is entering his 15th season in the NFL. The deal was negotiated by agent Tommy Condon of CAA Football. Davis has established a reputation as one of the most durable and consistent linebackers in the league, and his return to New York provides the franchise with a proven veteran leader for their defensive unit.
Davis previously spent two separate stints with the Jets, originally being drafted by the team in 2012. His return adds significant experience to the roster as the team continues to build through the offseason. No further details regarding the structure of the contract have been released at this time.
