Great move by Loomis and company. Davis is a highly effective and respected leader and even though he is aging, this is the right move. Sends a message to the entire team IMO!

Noice!

Wow that is great to have him for three more years.

He leads, he punishes, he's everywhere, and he does not break down. He's like Ray Lewis, but better off the field.

Very glad to hear this! DD is one of the most important pieces of that defense.

I wonder if he could have gotten more if he’d waited and tested the open market, but I’m glad he didn’t wait.

Where does this guy rank with the fans in all-time Saints linebackers now? I gotta think he is top 5 off the top of my head.

Quietly one of the greatest free agent signings of all-time. It's a shame that the MLB position doesn't get the same respect that it used to; this man is a superstar.

Here's something else that is very impressive:

Top 5 for me, right after the dome patrol. He’s an amazing player.

Would you take him over Vilma though

Yes.

Absolutely great move by the front office. He earns every penny the saints pay him and then some.

Would I trade him for Vilma? Man I dunno becasue Vilma was the man, but Davis brings a little more emotion and physical to the mix where Vilma was in the Sam Mills category of diagnosing a defense

Considering DD's curent age, it shows you his character and commitment to the Saints. Many aging players will try to leverage a longer deal in order to lock up more long term money.

 

[BIGSAINTSFAN]

Great move by the organization. He has earned every penny he gets.
