The Cincinnati Bengals need to add a quality veteran to the defense in free agency.
And now, with the New Orleans Saints’ Demario Davis apparently available, they could have their top target.
As The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr. points out in the post above, Davis was coached by current Bengals linebacker coach Mike Hodges back in 2018.
So if Davis does decide to test free agency, he would make a lot of sense in Cincinnati, where tackling and youth presented big problems last year.
Davis, though 37 years old, is coming off a career high in tackles (143), so he seems to have a lot of juice left.
By mentoring Demetrius Knight Jr. and Barrett Carter, Davis could potentially turn the Bengals’ defense from porous to consistent.
We’ll have to see if he’s ready to leave New Orleans, where he has been for the last eight seasons, and if the Bengals’ front office is willing to win a bidding war for him.
