Steelers Now
The Pittsburgh Steelers are still weighing their receiver options. Former Buffalo Bills wideout Gabe Davis is paying a visit to the Steel City this week, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported Tuesday.
“Sources: Former Bills and Jaguars WR Gabe Davis is scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh on Wednesday to visit with the Steelers on Thursday,” Schefter wrote on X. “Pittsburgh has been seeking additional receiving help and has inquired about, but is not expected to trade for, Miami TE Jonnu Smith.”
Davis totaled 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns through 10 games in Jacksonville last season. He missed half of the go-round because of a minor knee surgery, and the Jaguars released Davis after a failed physical, which is likely a reason why he’s still on the market.
Davis has also visited the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants.
Before inking a three-year, $39 million free-agent deal with Jacksonville last offseason, Davis was a reliable target for Josh Allen in Buffalo. Over four seasons with the Bills, he pulled in 163 passes for 2,700 yards and 27 touchdowns.
In 2022, Steelers fans watched Davis grab six passes for 171 yards and a pair of touchdowns, spoiling Kenny Pickett’s debut as Pittsburgh’s starter. Davis had a career-long 98-yard score in the 38-3 Bills victory.
Davis’ eruption in a playoff game against Kansas City that same season would be remembered more fondly had the Chiefs not stolen the win late. Davis registered eight catches for 201 yards and four touchdowns in the 42-36 defeat, including a go-ahead grab with 13 seconds left.
As of now, the Steelers’ receiver room includes DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Brandon Johnson, Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek, Robert Woods, Roc Taylor, Lance McCutcheon, and Ke’Shawn Williams.
