Bengals re-sign LB Akeem Davis-Gaither

The Cincinnati Bengals have re-upped with linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, it’s a one-year deal worth $3 million for Davis-Gaither.

Davis-Gaither, a fourth-round pick by the Bengals in 2020, never played more than a rotational role in the base defense (33 percent of the snaps in 2021) but has been a core special teams member (minimum 61 percent each season).

Even so, he’s a key piece of depth for a defense that likes running two linebacker looks with Germaine Pratt and Logan Wilson and a situational pass defender who has carved out a nice niche.

Davis-Gaither is one of a few linebackers the team figures to bring back as depth this offseason.
