KMajor, you got your MLB...

Rez, guess you got your wish for some Free Agent Action!

And it looks like we're all in for 2018, Gang!

But is he any good? I've never heard of him.:?

FWIW, Davis was PFF’s #8 LB last season.

We just might have a VERY good team this year. FO isn’t ****ing around. I agree, looks like they are gearing up for an offensive draft.

So do I, that was years after I was hoping we were going to draft him out of Miami!

Oh hell yeah. Speed at linebacker. And he's from Collins, MS. Went to Brandon High School. This makes sense.

Love this signing. Move Klein to SAM and let the chips fall however they may at WILL. For the second year in a row our LB group is trending up. That probably hasn't been the case since the dome patrol days.

So what we thinking will be tbe starting three next year?

Klein and Anzalone?

Hope Robertson sticks myself,really like him as a depth player.

Does Te'o stay around

CheramieIII 03-14-2018 03:20 PM

Re: Saints Signing LB Demario Davis to 3 Year, $.24mil Deal
 
We only have DE and DT to draft then LT and a couple of guards. Maybe WR in the 1st.

Keep Robertson at WLB
Klein, Teo - MIKE
Davis & Stupar - SLB

Anzalone? ... WLB (hopefully he can stay healthy).

I'll be interested to see how the real coach (Nolan) lines them up though.

K Major 03-14-2018 03:36 PM

Re: Saints Signing LB Demario Davis to 3 Year, $.24mil Deal
 
I read a tweet from Underhill on Davis ...

"He plays on all 3 downs & has participated in 79 of 80 games". With all the guys we had on IR last season ... that's HUGE. You can count on him to play every Sunday.

Demario is a reliable player.

For me personally,

WLB- Alex Anzalone, Craig Robertson
MLB- Demario Davis, Manti Te’o
SLB- AJ Klein, Nate Stupar

I see Teo being the odd man out. We will save 2.5 million by cutting him. Only 300k dead money. Stupor would be next. 400 k dead with 1.7 million saved.

lee909 03-14-2018 03:54 PM

Re: Saints Signing LB Demario Davis to 3 Year, $.24mil Deal
 
Right
Good savings there for 2nd string players
Shame for Te'o as he played well but at least he has restored his rep and will get a job

I hope we keep teo cause you never know what will happen better to be safe than sorry

This is a good person and good player that wants to win from the video. Have to be a contender to get these guys. Great sign.

My Browns support friend not a fan. Says nothing but a down hill thumper. Though it seems to be the Browns trading him that switch the lights on upstairs according to Todd Bowles

Re: Saints Signing LB Demario Davis to 3 Year, $.24mil Deal
 
you’re right Lee. I’ve read multiple articles about him being a new player and how his approach to the game changed hence the career year. He’s matured and there’s evidence of that from recent tweets about his former organization. I like the move

FinSaint 03-15-2018 04:22 AM

Re: Saints Signing LB Demario Davis to 3 Year, $.24mil Deal
 
Sounds like what happened with Malcolm Jenkins.

lee909 03-15-2018 05:09 AM

Re: Saints Signing LB Demario Davis to 3 Year, $.24mil Deal
 
Yeah,gotta hope the upwards trajectory continues. I respect his opinion though,he was the one that told me we would love Robertson

I'm a little worried about the PRob but this is a slam dunk. I am hyped about this season. There are a lot of players that where injured last year and its basically like we are adding them also. This might be our next Super Bowl team. I can not wait.

jeanpierre 03-15-2018 07:51 AM

Re: Saints Signing LB Demario Davis to 3 Year, $.24mil Deal
 
Gang, there be linebackers on this team now! We'll likely keep six (6) linebackers as we had last year...

Well, this is where we are currently at linebacker going into the draft:



SLB (2) 53 - A.J. Klein, 54 - Nate Stupar, 59 - Shayne Skov (FC)

MLB (2) 56 - DeMario Davis (FA 2018), 51 - Manti Te'o, 99 - Adam Bighill (FC)

WLB (2) 47 - Alex Anzalone, 52 - Craig Robertson, 44 - Hau'oli Kikaha, 45 - Sae Tautu (FC)


Most vulnerable are Kikaha and Te'o as they lack the versatility that Davis, Anzalone, Klein, Robertson and Stupar have...

FinSaint 03-15-2018 07:54 AM

Re: Saints Signing LB Demario Davis to 3 Year, $.24mil Deal
 
Lee if you watch this video, it seems that the trade back to the Jets from the Browns opened his eyes on improving his craft kind of like what happened with the Saints letting Jenkins leave via the free agency.


Seems like a legit leader and I've already read a lot of good things about him - having not even known the guy's name before this signing.
