NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints actually locked up two of their star players to contract extensions on Saturday before kicking off their season with a 34-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Saints signed All-Pro linebacker Demario Davis to a three-year extension worth $27 million plus incentives, according to a source, with $18 million guaranteed.
News of Davis' extension was first reported by Fox Sports.
Davis, 31, signed his deal Saturday night on the heels of running back Alvin Kamara's five-year extension earlier in the day.
