No one can be too sure how good or bad the Seattle Seahawks will be in 2025. The issue with the unit in recent seasons hasn't been their inability to score points but their inconsistency in doing so. Last year, the group digressed as the season grew old, but the defense picked up the proverbial slack.
The biggest question might be how productive the new receiver room will be. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are gone. Cooper Kupp was signed, but he is more of a possession receiver. One recent idea has Seattle adding another free agent, one trying to rebuild his career.
The Seahawks also added Marquez Valdes-Scantling in free agency as well. He can create splash plays, but his career catch rate is less than 50 percent. He is, therefore, not reliable game in and game out. Could former Jacksonville Jaguars wideout Gave Davis be?
Seattle Seahawks urged to take a chance and sign wide receiver Gabe Davis
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton believes he could be for Seattle. In a recent article about one move each NFL team still needs to make this offseason, Moton thinks Seattle should sign Davis. He is 6'2" and 225 pounds and has enough speed to be defenses over the top.
The problem is that after four solid years with the Buffalo Bills, Davis signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of the 2024 season and was a dud. Worse, later in the season, he tore his left meniscus and needed to miss the rest of the season. The Jaguars released him in May with a failed physical designation.
Will Davis be healthy enough to play in early 2025, and will he recover the speed he once had? If he signs somewhere, it will likely be a one-year prove-it deal for little money.
The Seahawks still have money to spend this offseason and can afford Davis. However, this would make the Seattle wide receiver room even more crowded. After signing Kupp and MVS, while still having Jaxon Smith-Njigba and drafting Tory Horton, there might be no place for Davis.
He has averaged 16.2 yards per reception over his career and had at least six touchdown catches in each of his first four seasons (all with the Bills), so he might be able to contribute, if healthy. He is also only 26 years old, so he should have a number of seasons left to play.
