The Steelers seem ready for Gabe Davis to arrive

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting wide receiver Gabe Davis for a visit on Thursday. The veteran wideout is coming off a down year in Jacksonville with the Jaguars, catching just 20 passes and being let go by the Jaguars after signing a three-year deal last offseason.

Prior to 2024, though, Davis proved himself as a reliable No. 2 wide receiver who is a more than willing and capable blocker in the run game with the Buffalo Bills. In four seasons with Buffalo, Davis caught 163 passes for 2,730 yards and 27...

Pittsburgh Steelers second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson would be happy to add free agent Gabe Davis into the mix.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting wide receiver Gabe Davis on a free agent visit on Thursday. It’s a much-needed addition after trading George Pickens but one that could hurt the outlook of up-and-coming players like second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson.

Wilson, who played just five snaps of in-game action after missing most of his rookie season due to injuries, does not care, though.
