May not return to playing
Published: 2024-08-17
Davis has decided he doesn't want to return to the NFL, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
After announcing his retirement last August, Davis applied for reinstatement this March and was subsequently released by the Jets so that he could pursue an opportunity elsewhere. The wideout had a tryout with the Bills this week, but it appears that nothing will come of it given Cappacio's report. Davis is only 29 years old, but it was never a given that he'd land a significant role with an NFL club if he did decide to return given that he hasn't suited up since 2022.

Gets tryout with Buffalo
Published: 2024-08-14
The Bills hosted Davis for a tryout Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Davis retired while with the Jets last season but applied for reinstatement to the NFL back in March, and he's now attempting to latch on with a new AFC East team. Buffalo could be looking to replace the big-bodied Chase Claypool (toe) at training camp, as he landed on season-ending IR on Tuesday. If he manages to latch on with the Bills, Davis could have an opportunity to press veterans Mack Hollins, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and KJ Hamler for a depth role in the wide receiver room.
Officially released by Jets
Published: 2024-03-14
The Jets officially released Davis from the reserve/retired list Thursday.
This transaction comes on the heels of Davis applying for reinstatement from the NFL earlier Thursday. In the later stages of the 2023 preseason, he announced his retirement, but the now 29-year-old has put himself on a path to returning to the highest form of pro football. In two campaigns with the Jets between 2021 and 2022, Davis hauled in 66 of 123 targets for 1,028 yards and six touchdowns in 22 games.
Planning NFL return
Published: 2024-03-14
Davis has applied for reinstatement to the NFL and the Jets are expected to release him from the reserve/retired list Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Davis could also return to New York on a new contract, after he stepped away from the team and into retirement last August. The 29-year-old wideout put up a 32-536-2 line in his last played season, when he suited up for 13 games with the Jets back in 2022. He should be able to contribute as a depth receiver as long as it doesn't take too long to catch back up to speed, whether he ultimately re-ups with New York or lands elsewhere.
Placed on reserve/retired list
Published: 2023-08-23
The Jets officially placed Davis on the reserve/retired list Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Per Rich Cimini of ESPN, Davis -- who had been excused from team activities for the last 10 days -- announced Wednesday that he planned to step away from football. With the 28-year-old's retirement having been noted on the NFL's official transaction log, the Jets will move on with a wide receiver corps that is in line to feature Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mecole Hardman and Randall Cobb.
Steps away from NFL
Published: 2023-08-23
Davis announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
In a statement posted on Instagram by Davis, the wideout relayed his intentions to step away from the sport of football. The 28-year-old entered the league with the Titans in 2017, who chose him fifth overall in that year's draft. With Davis no longer in the mix, the Jets wide receiver corps is now in line to be led by Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Mecole Hardman and Randall Cobb.
Tending to personal matter
Published: 2023-08-23
Davis didn't practice Tuesday due to a personal matter, John Pullano of the Jets' official site reports.
Per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, while coach Robert Saleh didn't comment Wednesday on Davis' availability for Week 1, he did note that the wideout can take "however long he needs" before returning to the team. As long as Davis is sidelined, the Jets' top available WR options will be Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman.
In uniform Saturday
Published: 2023-08-12
Davis is suited up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Panthers, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Davis didn't play in the Jets' first exhibition, but it looks like he'll get a taste of game action Saturday, along with Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman. However, the Jets will be without Aaron Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Randall Cobb and Breece Hall (knee), so Davis should be a top target for Zach Wilson versus Carolina.
Gets verbal support of head coach
Published: 2023-05-05
Jets coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Davis "will be on this team" in 2023, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
Between a busy offseason for the Jets and Davis' non-guaranteed $10.5 million base salary, the 28-year-old wideout has been oft-mentioned as a potential cap casualty. The Jets traded WR Elijah Moore to Cleveland in late March, but only after signing Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman, and they later added Randall Cobb to give QB Aaron Rodgers another one of his former receivers from Green Bay. Saleh pointed to Davis' blocking and "big boy catches" as reasons he'd stay with the Jets, but it still won't be much of a surprise if the front office has other ideas. Davis has played 22 of a possible 34 games since joining the Jets, catching 66 of 123 targets (53.7 percent) for 1,028 yards (15.6 YPR, 8.4 YPT) and six touchdowns. The rate numbers aren't bad considering the lousy QB play he's dealt with, but $10.5 million is a lot to pay for a receiver who isn't even guaranteed a full-time role.
