Gabe Davis has been on the Steelers’ radar for much of the offseason. No signing has come about yet, but that could change in the near future. 
Davis is set to travel to Pittsburgh for a free agent visit tomorrow, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. That will mark the second time in which team and player have met in person. The first occurred in June, following Davis’ Jaguars release. Interest from other suitors has emerged, but the veteran wideout has remained unsigned well into the summer.
Early last month, it became clear Davis was still under consideration by the Steelers. The team has since acquired tight end Jonnu Smith via trade, adding a veteran pass-catcher to the mix. The receiver position has remained a talking point through the summer, though, with questions lingering about the depth behind fellow newcomer D.K. Metcalf. Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson are in line to handle key roles as things stand.
Austin is a pending free agent, and no talks on an extension have taken place to date. The 26-year-old could help his market value considerably with a strong year while handling the No. 2 receiver role and continuing to operating as a deep threat. Austin averaged 15.8 yards per reception last season, and he will look to remain an effective vertical threat while (potentially) taking on an increased workload in 2025.
That could of course change if Davis were to enter the mix. The former Bill joined Jacksonville in free agency last year, but a meniscus tear limited him to 10 games and career lows in production. Like other members of the Jags’ skill-position group, Davis was cut by the team’s new regime in the spring. A much less lucrative pact than the $13MM-per-year accord he signed in 2024 will be in store.
Today’s development further suggests that next deal will come from the Steelers. Pittsburgh has over $19MM in cap space, so finances will not be an issue if Davis’ results in an offer.
