Former New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis has reached an agreement with the New York Jets on a two-year, $22 million contract, according to @AdamSchefter.
The deal includes $15 million in fully guaranteed money for the veteran defender. The agreement marks a high-profile return to the Jets organization for Davis, who has spent the last several seasons as a cornerstone of the Saints defense.
Davis previously played for the Jets from 2012 to 2015 and again for a single season in 2017. Since joining the Saints in 2018, he has established himself as one of the most durable and productive linebackers in the NFL. His return to New York provides the Jets with a proven veteran presence in the middle of their defensive unit.
The $22 million investment secures a key starter for the Jets as they continue to build out their roster. Further details regarding the specific structure of the contract and its impact on the team's salary cap have not yet been disclosed.
