Salary cap impact of Jaguars releasing Gabe Davis with post-June 1st designation
The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on Wednesday that they were releasing wide receiver Gabe Davis, and on Thursday afternoon, that move became official.
Davis was waived with failed physical and post-June 1st designations, according to Aaron Wilson. As it pertains to the post-June 1st designations, that does come with some noteworthy salary cap ramifications for both 2025 and 2026.

Last offseason, Davis signed a three-year, $39 million deal with $24 million guaranteed. By releasing Davis at this point, the Jaguars are taking on a hefty amount of dead cap--which are dollars that have been paid to the player but not yet accounted for on the salary cap--of $20.3 million.
The decision that the Jaguars had was to either absorb that full $20.3 million in dead cap on the 2025 salary cap, but be out from under Davis' deal in 2026, or use the post-June 1st designation to spread the dead cap hit out.
By choosing the latter, Davis will leave behind a dead cap hit of $5.7 million in 2025, but also a $14.6 million dead cap hit in 2026, according to Over the Cap.
So even though Davis will be playing elsewhere, he will still be on the Jaguars' salary cap books for each of those amounts over the next two seasons.

Boxing World Slams Keyshawn Davis for Weight Miss and Altercation: "Behave Like a Champion!"
Boxing World Slams Keyshawn Davis for Weight Miss and Altercation: "Behave Like a Champion!" originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While championship belts are won in the ring, legacies are built outside it. The boxing world has seen too many talented fighters derailed by unprofessional behavior, from weight misses to public altercations that overshadow their skills. Champions are held to a higher standard, expected to embody discipline and sportsmanship even when the cameras are off. A fighter's reputation often hinges on moments when they're not throwing punches – moments where character matters most. Advertisement Hall of Fame boxing analyst Teddy Atlas didn't hold back on his podcast The Fight with Teddy Atlas, scolding WBO lightweight champion Keyshawn Davis for his recent weight miss and backstage altercation with Nahir Albright after he defeated Davis's brother Kelvin. Elsa-GettyImages The incident occurred ahead of Davis's now-canceled June 8 title defense, where he failed to make weight by 3.5 pounds, leading to his temporary stripping of the WBO belt. Atlas, known for his no-nonsense commentary, dissected the controversy with trademark bluntness, emphasizing that Davis's actions betrayed the responsibilities of being a champion. Advertisement "There's a responsibility that goes along with that title, champion," Atlas declared. "The responsibility is that you have to make sure you behave like a champion at all times. Not only in the corner, not only when you've been hurt, not only when you're tired, but at all times." The veteran trainer, who has mentored 18 world champions, stressed that Davis's lapse in professionalism overshadowed his accomplishments, including his Olympic silver medal and undefeated record. Atlas acknowledged Davis's talent and his ability to overcome mental health issues, but argued that greatness requires consistency beyond the ring. 'That night, for all the good things that Keyshawn Davis has done—and he's done a lot that I already touched on to get to where he's gotten to through life—he let himself down,' Atlas said in disappointment. 'He let himself down because he forgot for a moment what a champion doesn't do.' The altercation with Albright, which escalated into a physical confrontation at the Scope Arena in Virginia, further fueled Atlas' criticism. Advertisement Watch the incident here: 'There's a responsibility that goes far beyond putting combinations together. It has got to do with the choices you make outside the ring, in life.' Atlas continued. 'You must understand there are certain things that are just beneath you, that are not allowable.' On an ESPN post-show reaction of the altercation, analyst Mark Kriegl and boxing veteran Timothy Bradley Jr. expressed their disdain for Davis's behavior as well. 'It's a damn shame... I admire the kid so much for what he has overcome and what he has shown at this very arena,' said Kriegl. 'What we just saw was not supposed to happen. It was unnecessary and certainly didn't hurt the Davis brothers.' Advertisement Bradley was much more critical in his assessment of the incident, extending his criticism to the other Davis brother, Keon, who was involved in the backstage brawl. '[His] stock just plummeted to the floor,' Bradley said. 'I was a Davis brothers fan, I was. Nah, I'm an Abdullah Mason, Mason five brothers fan because of the way they behave as true professionals.' The fallout has been swift. The WBO reinstated Davis' title only after he agreed to face mandatory challenger Edwin De Los Santos by September, but the damage to his reputation lingers. Davis has yet to address the incident, but his antics could cost him lucrative fights, including a potential showdown with Gervonta Davis.

Former Badgers star garnering interest from the defending NBA champions
When it comes to the Wisconsin Badgers over the last decade, the most memorable team is easily the 2014-15 group that went 36-4 and made it to the National Championship Game, ultimately falling short to the Duke Blue Devils. That team had quite a few talented players, with four making it to the NBA: Sam Dekker, Frank Kaminsky, Duje Dukan, and Nigel Hayes-Davis. Kaminsky was a lottery pick to the Charlotte Hornets, while Dekker went No. 18 overall to the Houston Rockets. Both Dukan and Hayes-Davis ended up going undrafted, but secured NBA contracts. Unfortunately, all four players are out of the NBA now, as the Badgers don't have much of a presence in the league anymore. Johnny Davis was the latest to get drafted, going No. 10 overall to the Washington Wizards in the 2022 NBA Draft. But, he struggled in three seasons with the team, earning very limited minutes before being traded to the Memphis Grizzlies this past season. Davis was later waived and signed with the New York Knicks G-League team in March. Currently, Micah Potter is the lone former Badger in the NBA. After going undrafted in 2021 and spending time in the G-League with the Detroit Pistons and the Utah Jazz, he had his best season yet for the latter squad, playing in 38 games in 2024. However, Potter could be joined soon by another former Badger as Nigel Hayes-Davis has been picking up some traction from his time at Fenerbahce. Davis had a stellar season, averaging a career-high 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, while leading his team to their second EuroLeague Championship last month. Hayes-Davis caught the eyes of Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzula, who, according to EuroHoops, made the trek out to see him play in the playoffs last month. At 30 years old, Hayes-Davis could be a low-cost option for the Celtics off the bench, as the forward has developed his shooting (41 percent from three this season), while stacking together several strong seasons overseas. If he's given the opportunity, Hayes-Davis could be the second Badger to join the NBA ranks this summer, as star wing John Tonje is also currently projected to be drafted later this month.

Popcorn shop among a flurry of new Waukegan businesses; ‘People are feeding off each other'
Name a flavor and Gerdy's Gourmet Popcorn owner Nina Davis likely knows how to make it into popcorn. Davis, who opened a retail store on Grand Avenue in Waukegan on June 4, spent more than three years making popcorn in her home and business incubators. She sold it at events and got orders from a variety of places. Recognizing popcorn is primarily a snack food, Davis said its popularity stems from its flexibility. She said there are multiple flavors and then variations on a theme. There are a lot of ways to satisfy customers. Selling traditional flavors like buttered, caramel, cheese and the company's trademark canary yellow and pineberry blue, Davis continually looks for ways to make something a little different, offering customers continued variety. 'It can be soft or crispy. It can be sweet, sour or savory. It can be cheesy or garlicky,' Davis said. 'It can be anything you want it to be. We have Oreo cookie popcorn,' she added, holding up a large bag. 'We can mix and match.' Gerdy's Gourmet Popcorn is one of 14 new businesses to open in the past nine weeks in Waukegan, defying nationwide uncertainty with a sense of confidence and local support. Michael Lachowicz, a chef with French training, operates Aboyer Bistro in Winnetka. He started a fast-casual Mexican eatery — Fondita Miguel — in that suburb late last year. He opened a second Fondita Miguel in Waukegan with a ribbon-cutting on May 30. Uncertainty is not a concern. 'We're doing what works,' Lachowicz said, referring to the Waukegan location inside the Caliber Gun Range on Washington Street. 'I have confidence in what we're doing, and in what (gun range owner) John Galioto is doing.' Working with mentors as she moved from her kitchen to Post Market Place in downtown Waukegan, Davis said she was schooled by Ken Barber on the ins and outs of developing a business plan. She has confidence now, and is ready to brave uncertainty. 'If you have something good behind you, you have to be willing to take a risk,' she said, 'People aren't going to stop eating or snacking. If you have the drive, go for it.' Dr. Michael J. Reed, the chair of the board of the Waukegan Chamber of Commerce, said the flurry of new businesses in the city is prompting more to open. There is collaboration among a lot of businesses helping each other. It is contagious, he said. 'We have a lot of hidden gems, and a lot of organizations are collaborating to make Waukegan grow,' Reed said. 'People want to be involved in that special process. People are feeding off each other.' Mayor Sam Cunningham goes from one ribbon-cutting to another as the businesses open. They include restaurants, retail shops, hair salons and more. He is not surprised by the newfound vibrancy. 'All of this stems from our concept of Waukegan,' Cunningham said. 'These businesses are not only opening, but are supported by the city. We want to make sure they have the resources to be sustainable. Part of our job is to partner with them and the Waukegan Chamber of Commerce.' Kevin Considine, the president and CEO of Lake County Partners, said in a text that the explosion of new commercial concerns in Waukegan is a positive sign showing several areas of strength. 'It's a testament to our labor force, overall strength as a market and the hard work by the city and others to make it happen,' Considine said. Alex Perez opened Tito's Pizza on Jackson Street with a ribbon-cutting on May 28. His research was basic, as he heard from his neighbors that there was no place nearby to get pizza. He believes fresh ingredients and community support will overcome any uncertainty. 'Nothing is frozen,' Perez said. 'Everything is fresh. We're busy every day. We are getting a lot of support from the community.' Other new businesses opening since March 29, or scheduled to open soon in Waukegan, include V's Studio Beauty & Education, Post Market Place Café, Emperess Beauty Studio, Botanero Latino sports bar and restaurant, Forastero's Tako, La Chuparosa, Antojitos Food Tureck, Liguez Brunch and Family & Crab.
