Gabe Davis released

[RoscoeParrish]

 

I think there’s a 50-50 shot he’s back in Buffalo.

That’s about right given that’s his catch percentage

Welcome back the Jordan Phillips/Shaq Lawson retread cycle begins.

Don't do it Beane

I'd take him as a WR #5/6, good blocker, good locker room guy, could play ST if needed. Would have to set the clear expectation that it's not gonna be a starter/captain situation like last time, but he's certainly worthy of being on a roster. Still don't love not having a single plus starter, but our room would be deep:

 

1. Shakir

2. Coleman

3. Palmer

4. Moore

5. Samuel

6. Davis

He'd be a good fit for the Mack Hollins role but is he willing to play special teams?

Honestly I hope not. Good dude but I was never a fan of WRS that put up all there stats in 3-4 games

2025 Option bonus and salary, which is almost his entire compensation package for 2025, is guaranteed. The Jags paid/are paying $24M for 11 weeks of Gabe Davis. Wow. Wonder if the Jags insured him.

God no

[Roundybout]

I’d be on board with bringing him back cheap. He was a good WR3 or WR4. 

[EasternOHBillsFan]

He's worthless to Josh if he can't be on the same page with him out there when it counts. I'm good.

Why? He’s an actual better version of Mack Hollins, good in the locker room, and certainly not good enough to demand a high target share.

 

He ain’t perfect but no one on the Bills is either.

I think it is a little bit higher than 50-50. Really depends what his market is but coming off a bad injury last year and the timing of this release (i.e. after teams have put together their rosters) the chances are he takes a 1 year, prove-it type deal. The Bills and Beane in particular loved him as a guy and a teammate. 

[Paul Costa]

Have to come in cheap. He made some money 💰. He can afford a one year reset. 

[Don Otreply]

And this surprises who?

If it's a vet minimum training camp/pre-season deal to compete at WR with the idea that he can take the Mack Hollins role then I really don't see why the Bills wouldn't kick the tires so to speak? BUT is he a willing and capable ST player? Hollins was an ST ace and a very good blocker with some limited "pop" as a WR. Gabe is roughly as good a blocker and a better WR but if Gabe can't at least be a capable ST player (doesn't need to be an "ace" just a contributor) then it is hard to see him being able to make the roster just as a WR 4/5 when there's a crowded field there. 

[ytownblofan]

Wouldn't be shocked if the Steelers bring him in. That room is looking a little sparse post Pickens trade and Gabe has balled out against them in the past.

Who is getting cut to have your blocking WR?  They only keep 5

[BarleyNY]

Daboll isn’t here anymore so I’d wager his return depends on whether or not Josh goes to bat for him. 

[Bullfrog]

I just can't see Davis willing to come in and be a number 3-6 wr on this roster. How will that help him reset and get another solid deal?
