The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/new-orleans-saints\/350\" data-autotag=\"84b23fc0-f769-4d65-9d38-018c62e4efd7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> have been linked to several names in free agency, and this week they&#8217;ll be meeting with wide receiver Gabe Davis, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RapSheet\/status\/1931883783730454575\" rel=\"nofollow\">per NFL Network&#8217;s Ian Rapoport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Miscast as a leading receiver on the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/jacksonville-jaguars\/365\" data-autotag=\"0e187629-debe-49e8-9e02-83bd36ad3fcc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>, Davis was limited to just 20 catches on 42 targets across 10 games last year. Then he suffered a knee injury that ended his season, and the Jaguars let him go in the spring while taking on more than $20 million in dead money over the next two years. As Rapoport observed, that much money coming from Jacksonville means Davis is a candidate to take a one-year deal with his new team. He&#8217;s previously visited the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/pittsburgh-steelers\/356\" data-autotag=\"c4d4185f-a327-423a-aa54-67a40f9dee05\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He would add some size to the Saints&#8217; receiving corps at a listed 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds; earlier in his career, when Davis was playing second fiddle to Stefon Diggs, he scored 27 touchdown catches across four years and averaged 42.7 yards per game with the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/buffalo-bills\/324\" data-autotag=\"1082767b-7fb4-4f44-b217-cdba2c3895e9\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buffalo Bills<\/a>. With Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed demanding attention from defenses in New Orleans, Davis could flourish. Assuming he&#8217;s healthy. A few days ago Rapoport said that <a href=\"https:\/\/steelerswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/steelers\/2025\/06\/06\/steelers-gabe-davis-free-agent-injury\/84074643007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Davis was &#8220;not quite ready&#8221; while recovering from his meniscus injury<\/a>, so maybe the Saints are just giving him their due diligence on this visit.
