Cardinals veteran linebacker puts up defensive masterpiece against Buccaneers

TAMPA, Fla. — Akeem Davis-Gaither tied his season high in tackles on Sunday, posting a combined 10 of them (four solo, six assisted). An exceptional performance, even though the Cardinals dropped their fourth in a row by a final score of 20–17 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

2025 is Gaither’s first season with Arizona, as he spent his first five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. After coming off a 2024 season where he recorded a season high 82 tackles, this forced him to test free agency and led to him signing with the Cardinals on a two-year deal worth $11 million.
