""I'm not trying to plateau, I'm not trying to break even. I'm not trying to peak. I'm just trying to get better," Davis said. "And like when I'm getting better, it's like an indicator that I'm on the right track. And so, because I've done that, I think that gives me a lot of confidence that I'm looking forward to returning.""
""I don't think in terms of the business element before the business element presents itself," Davis said. "We're in a game where contracts do matter, but that's such a small part of your career. That happens in a little small window in the offseason once every other year or every couple of years. And when that time gets here, man, in 14 years, that's always worked itself out.""
Demario Davis plans to play a 15th NFL season next year. He will turn 37 on Jan. 11 and recorded a career-high 137 tackles this season, according to TruMedia. Davis takes his career one year at a time and views meeting preseason goals as evidence of continued high-level play. He emphasized focusing on steady improvement rather than plateauing or peaking and said that progress gives him confidence to return. Davis said he is not worried about his contract, which voids in the offseason, and noted that the contracts of Taysom Hill and Cameron Jordan also void. Davis joined the Saints prior to 2018 after stints with the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns.
