One of the biggest criticisms the Kansas City Chiefs have received over the past few years has been the talent level in the wide receiver room. Injuries haven't helped their case either, as Rashee Rice and Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown were both taken down by injuries in 2024.
Still, the Chiefs have not done a great job at surrounding Patrick Mahomes with pass-catching talent, especially after trading away Tyreek Hill. Skyy Moore has been particularly disappointing for the team, although the acquisitions of Rice and Xavier Worthy have given fans hope that general manager Brett Veach is still capable of identifying quality receivers.
In a surprise move, one former Chiefs' playoff foe is available, as the Jacksonville Jaguars announced that they have released veteran wideout Gabe Davis. Davis famously dropped four touchdowns on the Chiefs during the famous AFC Divisional Round Game that has become known as just "13 seconds".
The current receiver room features Rice, Worthy, Brown, rookie Jalen Royals, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Moore. Davis could fight for a spot on the depth chart immediately, especially as a red-zone threat.
"Big Game Gabe" is a hulking 6-foot-2, 225 pounds. Entering his age-26 season, Davis played just one season with the Jaguars after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Bills. He struggled to catch on in the Jaguars' offense, catching just 20 of his 42 targets for 239 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Davis was much more productive in Buffalo, his best season coming in 2022 where in 15 games he had 836 yards and seven touchdowns. With the Bills, Davis scored seven touchdowns in three out of his four seasons, with the sole exception being a six touchdown campaign where he made just four starts in his sophomore campaign.
Davis would be a low-risk, high-upside acquisition who at the very least could be a rotational piece in the red zone. He's entering his athletic prime at 26 years old, and would be entering a much more productive offensive system with the Chiefs than he faced with the Jaguars. It makes a lot of sense that the Chiefs would take a flier on him.
