Throughout training camp, Davis competed against veteran Bart Scott for the job as the starting weakside linebacker.[11] Head coach Rex Ryan named Davis the third-string backup weakside linebacker to start the regular season, behind Bart Scott and Josh Mauga.[12][13]
He made his professional regular season debut in the Jets' season-opening 48–28 victory against the Buffalo Bills.[14] On September 23, 2012, Davis made his first career tackle during a one-yard punt return by Marcus Thigpen in the first quarter of a 23–20 overtime victory at the Miami Dolphins in Week 3.[15] In Week 6, Davis was promoted to the Jets' primary backup weakside linebacker role after Josh Mauga was placed on injured reserve after tearing a pectoral muscle the previous week.[16] On October 21, 2012, Davis earned his first career start in place of Bart Scott and recorded a season-high seven combined tackles during a 29–26 loss at the New England Patriots in Week 7.[14] He remained as the starting weakside linebacker for the next two games (Weeks 8–10) as Bart Scott recovered from a toe injury he sustained in Week 7.[17] He finished his rookie season in 2012 with 36 combined tackles (31 solo) and a fumble recovery in 16 games and three starts.[18] He registered 15 of his tackles while playing on special teams.[19]
2013
[edit]Davis entered training camp slated as a starting inside linebacker after the Jets' new defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman switched from a base 4–3 defense to a base 3–4 defense.[19] Head coach Rex Ryan named Davis and David Harris the starting inside linebackers to begin the regular season in 2013.[20]
He started in the Jets' season-opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and recorded eight combined tackles in their 18–17 victory.[21] On September 22, 2013, Davis collected six combined tackles and made his first career sack during a 27–20 win against the Bills in Week 3.[21] He sacked quarterback E.

2014
[edit]Head coach Rex Ryan retained Davis and David Harris as the starting inside linebackers to begin the 2014 season, along with outside linebackers Calvin Pace and Quinton Coples.[24] On September 14, 2014, Davis recorded six combined tackles and sacked quarterback Aaron Rodgers twice in the Jets' 31–24 loss at the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.[25] In Week 10, he collected a season-high 12 combined tackles (11 solo) and broke up a pass during a 20–13 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was his fourth game with over ten combined tackles in 2014.[26] He finished his third season with 116 combined tackles (79 solo), five pass deflections, and 3.5 sacks in 16 games and 16 starts.[18] On December 30, 2014, New York Jets' owner Woody Johnson fired general manager John Idzik and head coach Rex Ryan after the Jets finished with a 4–12 record in 2014.[27]
2015
[edit]Head coach Todd Bowles chose to retain the Jets' starting linebackers and officially named Davis, Harris, Coples, and Pace the starters to begin the regular season.[28] In Week 3, he collected a season-high 13 combined tackles (six solo) in the Jets' 24–17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The following week, Davis made a season-high two pass deflections and a tackle during a 27–14 win at the Dolphins in Week 4.[29] Davis finished the 2015 season with 90 combined tackles (57 solo), two pass deflections, and two sacks in 16 games and 16 starts.[18] Although the Jets finished second in the AFC East with a 10–6 record they did not qualify for the playoffs.

Davis became an unrestricted free agent after the 2015 season and reportedly received interest with multiple teams, including the Cleveland Browns.[31]
On March 16, 2016, the Cleveland Browns signed Davis to a two-year, $8 million contract that includes $4.10 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $2 million.[32][33] Head coach Hue Jackson named Davis and Christian Kirksey the starting inside linebackers to begin the regular season, along with outside linebackers Nate Orchard and Emmanuel Ogbah.[34]

New York Jets (second stint)
[edit]On June 1, 2017, the Browns traded Davis to the Jets in exchange for Calvin Pryor.[36] Davis became expendable after Browns' defensive coordinator Gregg Williams switched to a base 4–3 defense that required a single middle linebacker. They also acquired Jamie Collins from the New England Patriots and had Christian Kirksey and Joe Schobert develop into viable starters.[37]
He entered training camp slated as a starting inside linebacker, but saw competition from Bruce Carter, Julian Stanford, Spencer Paysinger, Frank Beltre, and Connor Harris.[38] Head coach Todd Bowles named Davis and Darron Lee the starting inside linebackers to begin the regular season.[39]
He started in the Jets' season-opener at the Bills and collected a season-high 14 combined tackles (eight solo) and was credited for half a sack in their 21–12 loss.[40] On September 24, 2017, he recorded a season-high 11 solo tackles, assisted on a tackle, and deflected a pass in the Jets' 20–6 win against the Dolphins in Week 3. In Week 14, Davis collected 13 combined tackles (ten solo) and half a sack during a 23–0 loss at the Denver Broncos. He finished the 2017 season with a career-high 135 combined tackles (97 solo), a career-high five sacks, and three pass deflections in 16 games and 16 starts.[18] His 135 combined tackles finished sixth in the league in 2017.[41] He earned an overall grade of 87.3 from Pro Football Focus and received the eighth highest among all qualified linebackers in 2017.[42][43]
New Orleans Saints
[edit]2018
[edit]Davis became an unrestricted free agent in 2018 and received interest from multiple teams as he was considered to be the top linebacker available in free agency. Davis stated he intended to return to New York and considered the Jets his home. The Jets and Davis failed to reach an agreement and Davis claimed the Jets never officially made him contract offer, but it was possibly due to his asking price.[44] On March 19, 2018, the Saints signed Davis to a three-year, $24 million contract with $16 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $9.20 million.[45][46][47]
In Week 4, Davis recorded 11 tackles, two for a loss, and two sacks in a 33–18 win over the New York Giants, earning him National Football Conference Defensive Player of the Week.[48]
2019
[edit]In Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons, Davis recorded a team-high 11 tackles and sacked Matt Ryan once in the 26–18 win.[49] He was ranked 67th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2020.[50]

2021
[edit]Davis appeared in and started 16 games for the Saints in the 2021 season. He finished with three sacks, 105 total tackles (75 solo), and seven passes defended.[54] He was ranked 74th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2022.[55]
2022
[edit]On June 24, 2022, Davis signed a one-year contract extension with New Orleans.[56] Davis played in all 17 games for the Saints, and was on the field for all 1,132 defensive snaps played by the team. In doing so, he became the only linebacker to do so in 2022, and the first to accomplish the feat since Jordan Hicks did so for the Arizona Cardinals in 2019.[57] He was ranked 43rd by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2023.[58]
2023
[edit]Davis started in all 17 games for the Saints in the 2023 season. He finished with 6.5 sacks, 121 total tackles (74 solo), four passes defended, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery.[59]
