Thurman#1 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The correct answer is that it will depend largely on how he plays next year, and while many assume we know how that will be, we don't. We can guess, but we don't know. Sometimes guesses work out and sometimes they don't. It will also depend on what kind of numbers he demands. Before the year it looked like he might be one of our top priorities over the next couple of years. With the way he played this year he no longer looks like that much of a priority. If he plays better in the future, he will get more money and he'll have more leverage. If he levels off at his current level he won't get a ton of money, here or elsewhere. WR is very likely to be one of the three or four areas they might be willing to use a higher pick on this year. Probably they might bring in a good solid WR the way Polian brought in Bill Brooks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Gabe has really regressed this year. I think we have already seen peak Gabe Davis and it's good enough for a #3 receiver but he's not worth a big contract if we also need to replace him with a #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I dont think he will. They will draft a WR in first round next year and let Davis play out his fourth year deal. They have to start letting some of these guys walk. It started with Levi last year and with Singletary later this year. Maybe Edmunds too but most likely not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It's disappointing how Gabe's season has been so far this year. He's under contract for $1.2M next season and he has a chance to be in the mix again. It's up to him if he can repair his drops and get an extension. I like him and hope he can do it but if he can't, thanks for the memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three completions, two bad incompletions and one I won't know till we get the All-22. Three of ten paints a picture that is far worse than Gabe deserves.

His change of direction or stopping feels like watching a cruise ship sometimes.

gobills404 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 With the way the WR market is trending someone is gonna massively overpay him.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 0 percent at this point. Gabe is completely replaceable.

He was often praised for that, but seems to have forgot all that Yeah that Colts playoff game where we ended Philip Rivers career Gabe had a few insane game saving sideline grabs. I felt like he was a top 20 WR for sure after that game. Def leveled out and has struggled at times. Dropped a game winnee in Miami this year and Jets last play bounced off his facemask. Dropped a TD today. I dunno man, I think we let him play out his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I think if we had 2021 Gabe Davis instead of 2022 Gabe Davis, we're no worse than 15-2 and probably 16-1. The AFCCG would be in Buffalo, no neutral site, and on to the SB. Davis did NOT lose those three games himself, but if he'd made plays when they were there to be made, the Bills (who lost 3 games by 8 points total) would have the 1 seed wrapped up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers are steady middle of the league #2 numbers but really as you say he has basically just stayed the same performance wise but with more volume. My conclusion is Gabe is a NFL #2 outside receiver. But a pretty mediocre one. And I just don't think the Bills can justify paying him big money based on where they are. I'd draft a guy early in April, have Gabe and that guy jobshare in 2023 and then let Gabe go with our best wishes (and a fair chance that he nets a decent comp pick) after next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Given his inconsistency in catching passes, I don't want him to be brought back.
