Demario Davis to the New Orleans Saints

The Saints weren’t done there, because they also agreed to sign veteran linebacker Demario Davis on a three-year, $24 million deal, per ESPN’s Dianna Russini.

The 2012 third-round pick hasn’t missed a game in six years and nfl jerseys wholesale played every single snap for the New York Jets in 2017, but it’s unlikely the Saints will expect that from him considering that they already have A.J. Klein, Manti Te’o, Craig Robertson and second-year third-round pick Alex Anzalone on the roster.

If Davis does start all year, he might not necessarily provide a major upgrade over Te’o. If he doesn’t, he won’t be worth that kind of money. Either way, it’s an odd signing for a team that might be better off using its limited cap space on a thin defensive line.

The Eagles lost Robinson, but they didn’t let steady linebacker Nigel nfl jerseys china Bradham get away, as Adam Schefter reported. That’s nice for a team that is right up against the salary cap, because the 28-year-old is coming off back-to-back strong seasons in which he played more than 90 percent of Philly’s defensive snaps.

Among 4-3 outside linebackers, Bradham allowed a league-low 0.62 yards per snap in coverage, according to Pro  nfl wholesale jerseys Football Focus. Losing him would have been tough for morale considering that the Eagles are losing several other veteran leaders.

Still, Bradham doesn’t play a premium position and is getting $8 million a year over the next half-decade. That’s a lot of green for a team that lacks cap space. The Eagles are also on the hook for Mychal Kendricks’ $7.6 million 2018 cap hit, while fellow linebacker Jordan Hicks is entering a contract year.

The Eagles lose some credit for how much this cost them, nfl jerseys from china but a probable Kendricks trade—Rapoport reported they are expected to shop him—changes this grade.
