About this episode
The Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither, who brings solid experience and veteran stability to the team. After spending five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals, Davis-Gaither reunites with former coach Lou Anarumo, now running the Colts defense. Last season, he posted a career-best 117 tackles and handled coverage duties on 63 targets. The move addresses a thin spot in the linebacker group after trading away Zaire Franklin and adds special teams chops, with Davis-Gaither logging 1569 snaps there over his career. The addition sets up a more competitive rotation and builds depth heading into training camp. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
