 A former Bengals linebacker is headed out west.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Akeem Davis-Gaither is signing a two-year, $11 million deal with the Cardinals.

The solid backup played a few meaningful roles for Cincinnati over the past five seasons and is seemingly getting replaced by Oren Burks after the former Eagles linebacker signed with Cincinnati on Monday.

ADG is coming off of a career-high seven starts last season with more career highs in tackles (82) and pass breakups (four).
