Report: Jaguars pounce on Davis with 3-year, $39M pact
The Jacksonville Jaguars are signing former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis to a three-year contract, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Davis will earn $39 million over the deal, with incentives in place to reach a maximum of $50 million, sources told The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
The soon-to-be 25-year-old had 746 yards and seven scores as the Bills' No. 2 receiver behind Stefon Diggs in 2023, averaging 16.6 yards per reception.
Davis was inconsistent but explosive during his Bills tenure. His signature game came during the 2021 postseason when he posted eight receptions for 201 yards and four touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder has racked up 2,730 yards and 27 touchdowns on 163 receptions across 64 career regular-season games.
Despite the signing, the Jaguars still hope to retain free-agent wideout Calvin Ridley, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe. The draft pick that Jacksonville will send the Atlanta Falcons as a part of the trade that brought in Ridley will be a second-rounder if Ridley is retained before the league year opens Wednesday or a third-rounder if he re-signs after that.
The Jaguars are also signing safety Darnell Savage to a three-year, $21-million deal, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The pact includes $12.5 million in guarantees.
Savage has racked up 302 total tackles, nine interceptions, and 32 pass deflections in 72 career games.
