Overview

  • Gabe Davis was released by the Jaguars 14 months after signing a three-year, $39 million contract, with $24 million guaranteed.
  • The Jaguars will incur a $20.3 million dead cap hit, though the designation as a post-June 1 cut reduces the 2025 impact to $5.7 million.
  • Davis struggled in 2024, recording just 20 catches for 239 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games before a season-ending meniscus injury.
  • The emergence of Brian Thomas Jr., the signing of Dyami Brown, and the drafting of Travis Hunter reshaped Jacksonville's receiving corps, making Davis expendable.
  • Davis, 26, returns to free agency as a former Buffalo Bills standout who tallied 163 catches, 2,730 yards, and 27 touchdowns over four seasons.
