Linebacker Demario Davis, signed in free agency from the Saints, weighs 248 pounds. That's 32 pounds more than last year's middle linebacker Jamien Sherwood. (Sherwood has been moved to the weak side.)Then there's T'Vondre Sweat. The trade that brought him to New York meant adding a 366-pound defensive tackle.
