LB Willie Gay to the Saints on 1-year deal (Merged)

More like a side grade. He had one above average year in 2022 and he’s been just ok since.
Unless you and I are using very different calendars, this is an odd to phrase it.

There's only been one season "since" the 2022 season, so what you are saying is that he had one above average year in 2022 and one okay year in 2023. You worded it as if he's had more okay seasons since he had the above average season in 2022.
