Gabe Davis released by the Jacksonville Jaguars

Around this time last year, Buffalo Bills fans were split on the idea of losing wide receiver Gabe Davis, who signed a lucrative free-agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars in March of 2024. Gone were Davis’ highlight-reel sideline grabs and long touchdown catches, but so too were the multitude of dropped passes within a limited route tree.

Fast-forward to May 7, and Gabe Davis is again a free agent — with Adam Schefter reporting that Davis has been released by the Jaguars just one year into his three-year, $39 million contract. Davis’ surprising dismissal comes after a disappointing campaign where he caught just 20 passes (42 targets) for 239 yards and two touchdowns (per Pro Football Reference) before suffering a season-ending meniscus tear.

Things just never really clicked between Davis and quarterback Trevor Lawrence, but that’s to be expected when the sample size encapsulates just nine starts in 10 games. It’s telling that Jacksonville was comfortable parting ways with Davis after just one season, essentially paying him $23 million for nine starts. There was little financial benefit in moving on from him, apart from $1.5 million in salary should he sign with another team.

The question now is what’s next for Davis — and would general manager Brandon Beane enter the Bills in that conversation, perhaps nudging the idea of a reunion? One has to wonder where Davis would even fit into the pecking order at wide receiver with Buffalo, and if both sides could even make a reunion work if each wanted it.

What do you say, Rumblers, does bringing Gabe Davis back after a season away interest you?
