Gabe Davis meeting with Steelers after Giants visit in free agency twist
Gabe Davis' free agency tour now includes a stop in Pittsburgh. The former Jaguars wide receiver will meet with the Steelers on Thursday following a visit with the Giants last month, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Tuesday. Davis, 26, would help bolster Pittsburgh's receiving corps after the team traded star wideout George Pickens to the Cowboys in an early-May blockbuster. Advertisement 3 Gabe Davis was released by the Jaguars in May 2025. AP As it stands, the Steelers' depth chart at wide receiver includes two-time Pro-Bowler D.K. Metcalf, Robert Woods and Calvin Austin III, with Pat Freiermuth at tight end. The Steelers had eyed Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith and engaged in trade talks with the team late last week. However, Schefter reported Tuesday the team is 'not expected to trade for' Smith, who is seeking a new deal. Advertisement A fourth-round pick by the Bills in 2020, Davis spent four seasons in Buffalo before signing a three-year, $39 million deal with the Jaguars last March in free agency. He hauled in just 20 catches for 239 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games before he suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee. The Jaguars shut him down for the season in November. Jacksonville released Davis last month. 3 Gabe Davis (13) spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Bills. USA TODAY Sports Advertisement The Giants have been viewed as a potential option for Davis, given his familiarity with head coach Brian Daboll as the two worked together in Buffalo when Daboll was the Bills' offensive coordinator. In his final season in Buffalo, Davis had 45 catches for 746 yards and seven touchdowns. Should the Steelers emerge as a real possibility for Davis, there's the question of who he'll be catching passes from this season. 3 The Steelers are bringing in Gabe Davis for a visit. AP Advertisement The Steelers' quarterback situation remains in flux, even as Aaron Rodgers has dropped hints about potentially signing with Pittsburgh. The former Jets quarterback remains unsigned as OTAs in Pittsburgh get underway with longtime backup Mason Rudolph taking first-team reps. Rodgers, 41, said in April he was tending to matters in his personal life before deciding on his football future. It remains to be seen if both Davis and Rodgers will be rocking the black and gold next season.

Steelers bringing in FA wide receiver Gabe Davis for visit
Steelers bringing in FA wide receiver Gabe Davis for visit Just after the 2025 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Now, the Steelers might finally be taking his replacement seriously. According to ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter, the Steelers are bringing in free-agent wide receiver Gabe Davis for a visit on Thursday. Davis' career was on the rise after four seasons with the Buffalo Bills and he parlayed that into a huge free-agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. But it was clear from the beginning that Davis wasn't a great fit with the Jags and saw a big dip in production. Jacksonville decided to move on from Davis and instead selected former Colorado wide receiver Travis Hunter to pair up with Brian Thomas Jr. It makes sense that the Steelers would be interested in Davis. He not only provides elite size and speed but also comes as a bargain. Jacksonville is on the hook for $11.5 million of Davis' salary this season, so Pittsburgh wouldn't have to spend a fortune to get a player to compete with Robert Woods to be the Steelers No. 2 wide receiver.

3 WRs Raiders Should Consider Adding After June 1st
3 WRs Raiders Should Consider Adding After June 1st originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders had one of the worst quarterback situations in the entire NFL during the 2024 season. Fortunately, new general manager John Spytek upgraded by trading for veteran Geno Smith this offseason. Advertisement However, there are still a few question marks at the wide receiver position heading into the next phase of the offseason program. Jakobi Meyers is a surefire starter, but it is currently unknown who will emerge alongside him. Third-year Tre Tucker as well as rookies Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Tommy Mellott will look to make a case, but Las Vegas could stand to add a veteran into the mix. Former Jacksonville Jaguars WR Gabe Davis (0).Morgan Tencza-Imagn Images 1. Gabe Davis Davis was just released by the Jaguars last month after signing a three-year, $39 million deal with Jacksonville last offseason. This release came on the heels of a 20-catch, 239-yard campaign in which he missed almost half of the season due to injury. Advertisement Fortunately, Davis showed that he can be a solid supporting receiver in the first four years of his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills. He just turned 26 years old as well, so there is plenty of time for him to still develop and grow. His base salary this season will only be $1.5 million, so he could be a cheap and young option for the Raiders to add. 2. Amari Cooper Cooper was drafted by the franchise with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Although fans were upset about the way he left in 2018, a reunion could be in play for what is a completely new Raiders team. Last season, Cooper struggled to find his footing after being traded from the Browns to the Bills, but he still put together 44 catches for 547 yards and four touchdowns in 2024. He may not be the receiver that he once was, but he is just one year removed from a Pro Bowl campaign and has plenty of gas in the tank to help Las Vegas in 2025. 3. Keenan Allen Allen was a longtime foe of the Silver and Black, but he has a chance to redeem himself to Raider Nation by signing a deal with the team this season. His market value is just $11 million according to Spotrac, which should be well within the wheelhouse for Las Vegas. Advertisement He also has a strong connection to the Raiders, as wide receivers coach Chris Beatty has coached Allen at each of his last two stops with the Chargers and Bears. His 70 catches for 744 yards and seven touchdowns last season is the most of any player on this list, so despite being 33 years old already, Allen could be a strong short-term investment.

Nonprofit law firm sues Ohio corrections department over handling of inmates' legal mail
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A method some Ohio prisons use to prevent drugs from being trafficked into facilities through the mail is being challenged in court, with a nonprofit law firm claiming it invades inmates' privacy. The Ohio Justice and Policy Center filed a lawsuit on May 6 against senior managers of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction over the screening of mail between inmates and their attorneys. 'The paramount aspect of an attorney-client relationship is trust,' said Gabe Davis, OJPC Chief Executive Officer. 'This policy undermines that trust and opens the door for private correspondence to be viewed with total disregard for our client's civil rights and our First Amendment rights. We are suing the department because this has to stop now.' At the center of the lawsuit is the department's 'Legal Mail Policy Variance,' which instructs prison staff to make a photo copy of legal mail in front of the inmate it is addressed to, then give them the copy and shred the original. The practice is intended to secure legal mail and ensure contraband does not enter prisons. The policy was introduced at four of the 28 prisons the state oversees in winter and spring of 2024, including the Southern Ohio Correctional Institution, Marion Correctional Institution, Lebanon Correctional Institution and Ross Correctional Institution. 'The Legal Mail Policy Variance replaces a brief process of opening and inspecting legal mail with an extended process of copying and shredding that allows for many opportunities to read confidential legal mail,' the filing reads. The lawsuit alleges the policy has resulted in at least one confirmed instance of a staff member reading an inmates' legal mail, which was copied out of the incarcerated person's presence. The nonprofit law firm claims in the suit that it often receives mail from inmates containing allegations of misconduct by specific corrections officers, which could lead to retaliation if read by the employee. 'If our clients can't trust that they can be fully honest with us, we can't do our jobs,' said Lizett Martinez Schreiber, the managing attorney with OJPC. 'As attorneys, we have a duty to maintain trust. If the incarcerated people we work with feel like their mail is being monitored they won't be as transparent in their letters, fearing repercussions.' Other mail in Ohio prisons are opened and scanned by staff, before being delivered to inmates on an electronic tablet. The lawsuit only addresses legal mail practices, and does not challenge the handling of any other kind of mail. Drugs known as K2 or Spice, a synthetic cannabinoid, can be sprayed onto paper, incorporated into ink and otherwise concealed within mail, according to the chemical detection company 908 Devices. This can make it difficult to detect drugs visually, therefore many prisons have moved to photocopying mail in recent years. The civil rights suit claims the legal mail policy violates inmates First and Fourteenth Amendment rights, including their rights to freedom of speech and due process. The legal filing seeks to require the four correctional institutions to halt this policy and return to its original process. A spokeswoman for Ohio's corrections department said the state agency does not comment on pending litigation. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

BREAKING NEWS Shock contender emerges to sign Gabe Davis after brutal Jacksonville Jaguars cut
The New York Giants are vying for the services of free-agent wide receiver Gabe Davis, as he is reportedly scheduled to visit the team this week. Davis was brutally cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars last week with a failed physical designation last week, still owing the wideout over $11million this season in guaranteed money. Davis possibly being a target of Russell Wilson or Jaxson Dart in New York comes after a visit to the San Francisco 49ers earlier this week, who are looking for a new No 2 wide receiver after dealing Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders earlier this offseason. The 26-year-old wide receiver only spent one season with the Jaguars where he has 20 receptions for 239 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns in 10 games. Davis then had a season-ending meniscus injury. More to come.
