first-round pick by the Saints in 2018, Davenport played three of his five seasons in New Orleans with Glenn and Lions head coach Dan Campbell. He signed a one-year deal with the Vikings last spring, but played just four games before an ankle injury ended his season.
Davenport, who’ll play this fall at 28 years old, had two sacks playing opposite Danielle Hunter in Minnesota last season and a career-high nine sacks with the Saints in 2021. He has 23½ sacks and seven forced fumbles in six seasons

The Lions entered Monday with more than $40 million in cap space, and agreed to a new three-year deal with left guard Graham Glasgow before the start of the free agent negotiating window at noon. They hope to sign quarterback Jared Goff and receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown to contract extensions this offseason, and eventually will have similar large deals to do with Hutchinson and right tackle Penei Sewell, too.
