Jets Signing LB Demario Davis To Two-Year, $22M Deal

According to Tom Pelissero, the Jets have reached an agreement with LB Demario Davis on a two-year, $22 million deal. 

The deal includes $15 million guaranteed, per Pelissero. It’s a reunion on a couple fronts, bringing Davis back together with HC Aaron Glenn who coached him with the Saints. 

The Jets were also the team that drafted Davis way back when he started his NFL career. 

Davis, 37, is a former third-round pick of the Jets back in 2012. He spent four years in New York before signing a two-year, $8 million contract with the Browns that included $4.2 million guaranteed in 2016.

Davis was traded to the Jets in return for S Calvin Pryor back in 2017. From there, he signed a three-year, $24 million deal with the Saints a year later.  

Davis was in the final year of his contract when he agreed to a three-year contract worth $27 million that included $18.35 million guaranteed back in 2020. 

He was set to make a base salary of $10 million in the final year of that deal in 2024 when he agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract. The Saints restructured his contract last March. 

In 2025, Davis appeared in all 17 games for the Saints and recorded 143 total tackles, six tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, three pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
