Deal between Giants, WR Gabe Davis could still happen

Nearly two weeks ago, Gabe Davis took part in a free-agent visit with the Giants. No deal is in place at this point, but it appears an agreement between the parties could still come about.

Team and player have remained in contact in this case, SNY’s Connor Hughes writes. Davis obviously represents a familiar face for head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen after they worked together during their time in Buffalo. The recent visit would have allowed New York to evaluate the status of Davis’ knee as he recovers from meniscus surgery.

That procedure ended the 26-year-old’s debut campaign with the Jaguars. Davis came to Duval County as an established deep threat based on his tenure with the Bills, but he was unable to duplicate his production when healthy for Jacksonville. In 10 games, the former fourth-rounder only recorded 20 receptions and averaged a career-low 12 yards per catch. The Jaguars’ new regime decided to release him despite two years remaining on his contract.

The Giants’ receiver depth chart will be led by Malik Nabers in 2025, and the Offensive Rookie of the Year finalist will have several familiar faces around him. Darius Slayton , long attached to trade rumors, re-signed on another two-year pact. Wan’Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt, meanwhile, are still in place on their rookie pacts. New York’s offseason additions included the free agent signings of Zach Pascal and Lil’Jordan Humphrey. 

As a result, Davis would have plenty of competition for playing time in the event he were to sign with the Giants. The 49ers (the other team which he has also visited) have substantially more cap space as things stand, but if talks with New York continue a deal could still be on the table allowing Davis to reunite with Daboll and Schoen.
