Davis unexpectedly hit free agency after the Jacksonville Jaguars released him just one year into a three-year, $39 million deal. The team designated him with a failed injury tag after he tore his meniscus in Week 11 of the 2024 season.
Despite limited production last year (20 catches, 239 yards, 2 TDs), Davis showed flashes of the deep-threat ability that helped him post 983 yards and eight touchdowns with the Bills in 2022. Now healthy, he recently visited the Giants for a facility tour, medical evaluation, and informal meetings.
Familiar Faces in New York
Davis’ trip wasn’t just about health—it was also about relationships. Giants GM Joe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll, and assistant QBs coach Chad Hall all worked with Davis during their time in Buffalo. That existing rapport helped pave the way for a low-pressure visit that included dinner and a deeper discussion about fit.
Schoen explained the visit on the Up and Adams show, emphasizing the staff’s history with Davis and describing the meeting as exploratory. Nothing is imminent, but the door is clearly open.
How Davis Fits in New York
The Giants have their top options in Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton, but questions remain further down the depth chart. Jalin Hyatt’s role is still undefined, and any team is just one injury away from needing reinforcements.
Davis, at 6’2″, 210 pounds, brings size, a vertical element, and playoff experience. He could be a valuable rotational option and a reliable target for Russell Wilson—especially if the offense leans on deeper shots or needs a physical presence on the outside.
Low-Risk, Medium-Reward Potential
While Davis is reportedly weighing other opportunities, a deal with the Giants could come together soon. The team doesn’t need him to be a star—just a steady, familiar piece that adds depth and upside.
If healthy and engaged, Gabe Davis could turn out to be one of the smartest under-the-radar signings of the offseason.
