Could Commanders Take Risk, Sign Bills' Davis in Free Agency?
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

The wide receiver market in this free agency cycle is one to monitor for the Washington Commanders.

While the team already has Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson written atop the depth chart in pen, the depth slots below them need to be filled either in the free agency period or draft.

Curtis Samuel is a part of this year's free agency class, and Dyami Brown isn't quite ready to be a starter for the offense, so the Commanders should be on the lookout for receivers throughout the offseason.

Someone who could be on Washington's radar is Buffalo Bills receiver Gabe Davis, who is a free agent after catching passes from Josh Allen for the past four years.

Davis's struggles have been noted very publicly by frustrated Bills fans, who never saw him develop into the Stefon Diggs sidekick they'd hoped he'd be. Drops are a big reason Buffalo is moving on from Davis, but he's still had six or more touchdown catches in each of his four NFL seasons.

Davis' top highlight for his Bills tenure came in the AFC Divisional Round two years ago when he caught four touchdowns in a losing effort against the Kansas City Chiefs. That game showcased his ceiling, but he has often fallen short of that during his career so far.

He's not considered much more than a straight-line deep threat, and while the Commanders could certainly use some more of that, the team will want him to be more versatile down the road to take the gamble.
