Former Jacksonville Jaguars’ wide receiver Gabe Davis is scheduled to visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
This will be Davis’ third reported visit with a team since he became a free agent earlier this offseason. Davis has also visited with San Francisco and the New York Giants.
Last season was Davis’ only with the Jaguars after originally signing a three-year, $39 million deal during the 2024 offseason.
A knee injury would limit Davis to only 10 games, and during that span, he caught just 20-of-42 passes for 239 yards at 12.0 yards per catch with two touchdowns, per PFF.
By moving on from Davis, the Jaguars are taking on a hefty dead cap hit that totals $20.3 million over the next two seasons. By designating Davis as a post-June 1st release, rather than taking on that entire dead cap amount in 2025, $5.7 million will be on the books this season and $14.6 million on the books in 2026, even though Davis will be playing elsewhere.
With Brian Thomas Jr., Travis Hunter, Dyami Brown, and Parker Washington, the best-case scenario for Davis was that he was going to be the fifth receiver on the depth chart, and that’s a big contract to have on the sidelines.
