Davis and New Orleans agreed to terms Monday to restructure the final year of his contract into a new two-year, $17.25 million deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' new two-year contract additionally includes $13.25 million in injury guarantees, while his initial deal included none. The 35-year-old veteran could now well be positioned to finish his NFL career with the Saints, though he's still playing at an extremely high level. Davis' tackling output isn't usually high enough to provide him consistent fantasy value outside of big plays, though he did tally 121 stops (74 solo) in 2023, the second-highest mark of his career.

Davis appeared in all 17 games during the 2023 regular season, totaling 121 tackles, including 6.5 sacks, and four passes defended.
EDGE Analysis
Davis maintained his elite level of play in 2023, tallying over 100 tackles for the seventh season in a row. The 35-year-old also logged the most tackles since his career-best 2017 campaign (135) with the Jets, and he matched his career high for sacks in a season, which he set just last season. Davis played every regular season game for 11th time in his 12-year career, but he's currently slated to hit free agency this coming offseason.

Davis compiled eight tackles (five solo), including 1.5 sacks, and a pass deflection during New Orleans' 28-6 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis finished second on the team in tackles in addition to recording a sack for the third time in his past five games played. The 2012 third-round pick is once again having a productive season as he's now racked up 91 tackles (57 solo), with 5.5 sacks, in 13 games played.

Davis recorded nine total tackles (six solo), including one sack and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was the Saints' leading tackler for the third week in a row, bringing his season total up to 73 tackles. The All-Pro linebacker also came up big with a sack in the third quarter that pushed the Vikings out of field goal range and kept New Orleans within striking distance. Davis leads the Saints in total tackles on the year, and he's expected to continue being a focal point on one of the best defenses in the NFL as the season goes on.

Davis recorded 10 tackles (eight solo), including a sack, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was a limited participant in practice leading up to Week 9 with a knee injury, but it didn't seem to bother him Sunday as he played all 64 defensive snaps. He forced a fumble late in the fourth quarter while sacking Tyson Bagent which was recovered by the Saints and ultimately iced the game. Davis continues to be productive in his 12th season in the NFL and is leading the Saints' defense in total tackles (65) and second in sacks (three) through nine games this season.

Davis (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was limited at practice due to the knee issue this week but is good to go for Sunday's contest. His 13 tackles (six solo) in Week 8 were a season-best mark and were his highest total since Week 14 of the 2020 campaign.

Davis (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis played through the knee issue in Week 8, so it probably won't threaten his availability for Sunday's game versus Chicago. Even still, he'll probably need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Davis recorded 12 tackles (six solo) and a pass deflection in New Orleans' 38-27 win versus the Colts on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was questionable heading into Sunday's game with a knee injury but still managed to produce one of his best outings of the season, setting a new high for tackles. The 2012 third-round pick has 54 tackles (32 solo), with two sacks, on the season and will look to increase those numbers against the Bears next week.

Davis (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Colts, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was a limited participant in all three practice sessions this week, though it was the Saints' plan to limit Davis' practice time because of his knee issue, which was reported Thursday by Erin Summers of ESPN.com. Through seven games this season, Davis is second on the team in both total tackles (42) and sacks (two).
