The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to be trying to leave no stone unturned in their pursuit for another pass-catcher this offseason. This week, the team will explore one of the more obvious available “stones” at the position — veteran Gabe Davis.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday that the Steelers will host Davis for a visit on Thursday.
“Sources: Former Bills and Jaguars WR Gabe Davis is scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh on Wednesday to visit with the Steelers on Thursday,” wrote Schefter.
“Pittsburgh has been seeking additional receiving help and has inquired about, but is not expected to trade for, Miami TE Jonnu Smith.”
Davis averaged 16.7 yards per catch in his first four seasons with the Buffalo Bills. His best statistical season came in 2022 when he had 48 receptions, 836 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
In a matchup with the Steelers during that campaign, Davis scored a 98-yard touchdown.
Last season, Davis posted 20 receptions, 239 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 10 games for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Davis’ visit to Pittsburgh will come one week after Schefter reported the team inquired about Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith. The veteran tight end has five years of experience with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith.
NFL pundits have also linked the Steelers to several other receivers this offseason. On May 29, Steelers Now’s Zachary Smith reported the team showed interest in acquiring third-year wideout Trey Palmer from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
