Bengals Ink Linebacker Davis-Gaither to One-Year Extension
In a move to bolster their linebacker depth and special teams unit, the Cincinnati Bengals have reportedly agreed to terms with veteran Akeem Davis-Gaither on a one-year contract extension worth approximately $3 million, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
The 48-hour negotiating window for unrestricted free agents opened on Monday, allowing teams to discuss contract terms with players before the official start of free agency on Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET. Davis-Gaither, a former fourth-round pick by the Bengals in 2020, chose to remain with the team despite potentially having opportunities for more defensive playing time elsewhere.
