NFL free agency: LB Akeem Davis-Gaither signs with Indianapolis Colts
Linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither signs with a new team after getting cut by the Cardinals.

Davis-Gaither played the first five seasons of his career for the Cincinnati Bengals. Anarumo was their defensive coordinator then. He signed a two-year, $10 million contract to join the Cardinals last offseason.
With the Cardinals, he played in all 17 games and started 13. He had a career-high 113 tackles, two tackles for loss, a quarterback hit, an interception, a career-high five pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He also led the Cardinals with 20 total special teams tackles.
