2018 NFL Free Agency

FinSaint · 04-03-2018, 01:36 PM

Seems weird that Davis is being so undervalued since many "experts" had him ranked as the #1 LB going into free agency.

The more I've read about him, the more excited I am about the signing. Sure, it would've been nice to get him cheaper, but this was reportedly what they had to pay him in order to win over the other suitors.

He seems like a true locker room leader and an on-the-field general, who could very well outshine the last gang green MLB the Saints had.

+1.

His contract seems in line, especially when considering salaries (source - spotrac) on other MLB such as Kuechly, Anthony Hitchens, Bobby Wagner & Alex Olgetree. Davis appears to be on par with BMarshall & Zach Brown. He was top 10 at his position & it looks as if he was paid right around that slot.

Dude loves that he is playing close to home, #9 is his QB & Payton is his HC. He has that Ben Watson "vibe" about him. Nolan will coach a good one.

One important thing for me ... rarely misses work (played in 78 of 79 games) & balls on Sundays

. I think we got better in the middle on D.
