JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars released veteran receiver Gabe Davis on Wednesday, moving on nearly 14 months after signing him to a three-year, $39 million contract in free agency.

The Jaguars designated it as a post-June 1 cut, meaning it will cost them $5.7 million against the salary cap in 2025 instead of $20.3 million. Nonetheless, Jacksonville’s new decision makers clearly thought it would be better to to take on dead money than have Davis on the roster as a fourth or fifth receiver.

Davis, 26, is still recovering from a torn meniscus in his left knee sustained in mid-November and likely would have started the season on the physically unable to perform list. But he really became expendable once the Jaguars traded up to select two-way star Travis Hunter with the second pick in the NFL draft. They also signed speedy receiver Dyami Brown to a one-year, $10 million deal in free agency.

Throw in Brian Thomas Jr., who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie, and the Jaguars didn’t see how Davis would fit — especially since he didn’t contribute much on special teams in five NFL seasons.

Davis played in 10 games last year, with nine starts, and finished with 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns. He caught 163 passes for 2,730 yards and 27 touchdowns in four years with Buffalo. He had six more TD receptions in the playoffs.

Staying put

Hankins, 33, signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks as a free agent last year and is entering his 13th season in the NFL. Last season, Hankins appeared in all 17 games for the Seahawks and had 30 tackles, five tackles for loss and one sack.
