Demario Davis gets brutally honest on returning to Jets for 3rd stint

May 28, 2026 - 20:30

The New York Jets are looking to get the bad taste out of their mouth from last season, and they’ve made sure to make the necessary moves to improve. One of the moves they made was signing Demario Davis, and this makes it his third time with the Jets.

The linebacker was asked during OTAs about his third stint, and he’s even surprised about it.

“I never would’ve thought in a million years I’d be back two times let alone three times. But I guess this is just where I’m meant to be. I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Davis said via Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Davis spent his first four seasons in the league with the Jets before signing with the Cleveland Browns in 2016 on a two-year contract. He only played there for one season before he was traded back to the Jets in 2017. Davis signed with the New Orleans Saints after that season and spent eight years with the team before finding his way back to the Jets.

Earlier in the offseason, Davis spoke about how he was grateful to be back with the Jets, and leaving the last time felt like the mission was incomplete.

“This is my third time around, but this time I come back very different, very purposeful, very clear on vision, on who I am,” Davis said via the team’s website. “This wasn’t a happenstance situation. This was a choice, knowing who I am and what I am called to be. I know what I’m stepping into this time around. I know what I’m bringing into a locker room. I know I play the game at an elite level. I know every year I’m trying to play better than the prior year.”

Now, Davis will be looked upon to help lead the Jets’ defense, who were one of the worst units in the league.
