A former Bengals linebacker is headed out west. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Akeem Davis-Gaither is signing a two-year, $11 million deal with the Cardinals. The solid backup played a few meaningful roles for Cincinnati over the past five seasons and is seemingly getting replaced by Oren Burks after the former Eagles linebacker signed with Cincinnati on Monday.

The numbers are in on the two-year contract agreed to Monday by former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither with the Arizona Cardinals. Always beware when reading reports of total value for deals when the words “up to” or “max” are used.
