Arizona Cardinals sign linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither

The Arizona Cardinals added a former Cincinnati Bengals player. Just not the one everyone was hoping for.

The team will be signing Akeem Davis-Gaither per reports.

Davis-Gaither is a five year veteran and has played in 71 games with 11 career starts, seven of which came last year.

The 6-2 230lbs linebacker played his most snaps of his career as a linebacker last season. He saw 418 snaps at off ball linebacker in the box, so Davis-Gaither is coming in looking to expand that role even more.

In his snaps last season he played 535 on defense, a career high, with 195 snaps against the run, 50 pass rushing snaps and 290 dropping into coverage.
