Jaguars Release Gabe Davis After Major Roster Overhaul

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver Gabe Davis after just one season of his three-year, $39 million contract, following a disappointing 2024 marked by a season-ending knee injury and career-low production. Davis recorded only 20 catches for 239 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games, a sharp decline from his previous performance with the Buffalo Bills. His release creates a $20.3 million dead cap hit, despite $24 million in guaranteed salary. The move comes amid a leadership overhaul under new general manager James Gladstone and head coach Liam Coen, who have reshaped the receiver group by signing Dyami Brown and trading up to draft Travis Hunter in 2025. With young talents like Brian Thomas Jr. leading the way, the Jaguars are shifting toward a younger receiving corps. Davis is now a free agent after failing to meet expectations in Jacksonville.
