Tallies nine stops Week 1
Davis recorded nine tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Cardinals.

Davis and Werner should continue to pace the Saints' defense in tackles this season, but the former looks like he's set to once again serve as the top off-ball linebacker. The Saints will next play versus the 49ers on Sunday.

The 35-year-old veteran could now well be positioned to finish his NFL career with the Saints, though he's still playing at an extremely high level.

Davis restructured his contract Saturday to create cap space for the Saints, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The move ensures the veteran linebacker will be with New Orleans until at least 2024. The 34-year-old set a career high in sacks last season (6.5) and accumulated another season with 100-plus tackles. Perhaps more impressive has been Davis' availability, as the linebacker has not missed a game since earning a starting role back in 2013.

Team-leading tackler again in 2022
Davis accumulated 109 tackles (53 solo), 6.5 sacks, six passes defended and one interception over 17 games during the 2022 season.
Analysis: Davis logged a career high in sacks, eclipsing five sacks for the first time while also notching over 100 tackles for the sixth season in a row. The 34-year-old never showed any signs of slowing down, as he played every defensive snap this season. The 2022 second-team All-Pro has two years remaining on his current contract with New Orleans, so he'll likely continue to serve as the team's top tackler moving forward.

The 34-year-old linebacker has now eclipsed 100 tackles for the sixth consecutive season, as he sits at 101 over 16 games. Davis has also played every defensive snap for New Orleans this season, though, with the team now eliminated from playoff contention, it's plausible his playing time could be curtailed during the regular-season finale versus Carolina.
