Former Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis is set to strengthen the ranks of the Jacksonville Jaguars, following their confirmation of a three-year, $39 million deal. This lucrative contract includes $11 million at signing, according to a source who spoke with ESPN. The deal, as reported by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, could be worth up to $50 million.

Davis’ move to the Jaguars, a club poised to empower quarterback Trevor Lawrence with some reliable firepower, comes as a strategical pivot after the Buffalo Bills fell short in the playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs. The salary cap played a significant role in this difficult decision. It appears that the contract situation led to the team bidding farewell to Davis, a 2020 fourth-round pick by the Bills.

This move brings implied changes to the Jaguars’ roster as well, hinting that Calvin Ridley, after ending his 2023 season with Jaguars, may be searching for a new team. With Gabe Davis now on board, the Jacksonville Jaguars demonstrate effective maneuvering in free agency to ensure a robust offense for the upcoming season.
