Gabe Davis Steadily Drawing Interest

Gabe Davis remains one of the most valuable free agents still unsigned well into the offseason, drawing significant attention from multiple NFL teams. This week, we may be witnessing tangible progress toward a potential signing, as Davis recently visited the Pittsburgh Steelers’ facility. Following his visit to the Steelers—where he left without a formal agreement—Davis is now preparing to visit another team, further expanding the list of contenders interested in acquiring the former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver.

During his time in Pittsburgh, Davis spent a full day at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, where the Steelers conducted thorough medical evaluations to assess his health after a season riddled with injuries. In addition to the health checks, the visit included in-depth discussions regarding Davis’s role and future with the team. Although no deal was reached during this stop, the Steelers appear to remain intrigued by his potential contribution to their receiving corps, especially as they search for reinforcements following recent roster moves.

NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport has reported that Davis’s next stop will be the New Orleans Saints, adding another prominent franchise to the mix of teams vying for his services. As Davis continues these visits, he seems intent on carefully exploring all options without feeling pressured to rush into a decision—aiming to find the best fit both on and off the field. At 26 years old and heading into the upcoming season, Davis is eager to bounce back from what was arguably his most challenging year in the NFL. After signing a lucrative three-year, $39 million contract with the Jaguars last season, Davis played only one year before being released. His production dipped to 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns—far below the expectations set by his previous seasons.

Should Davis join the Steelers, he would bring an intriguing dynamic to an evolving wide receiver room, especially after Pittsburgh traded away George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. The Steelers are actively seeking to bolster their receiving options, and Davis could represent a valuable addition. His speed, size, and prior playoff experience would add depth and versatility to the Steelers’ offense, potentially revitalizing his career while addressing a key positional need for the team. For New Orleans, Davis would also provide much-needed stability alongside Chris Olave and Bubba Means. It’s no secret that Davis has suitors—now it’s just a waiting game to see where the domino falls.
