Gabe Davis is one of several pending free agents who could depart the Bills at the start of the new league year. While the deep-threat wideout has long been expected to explore the open market, he recently hinted his time in Buffalo has come to an end. 
Davis showed immediate promise as a secondary pass-catching option during his first two seasons. He posted nearly identical statlines across 2020 and ’21, totaling 70 catches, 1,148 yards and 13 touchdowns during that span. In the latter campaign, the former fourth-rounder delivered an historic performance in the divisional round of the playoffs with 201 yards and four touchdowns.
Consistency has been an issue for the 24-year-old, though, and he has yet to post a catch percentage above 56.5% in his four-year career. As Buffalo continues to seek out a dependable secondary option to complement Stefon Diggs, Davis has made it clear no extension talks have taken place and that he is therefore on track to reach the open market. He recently posted a video reflecting on his time with the Bills; while it does not confirm he will be heading elsewhere, it can certainly be interpreted as a farewell to the franchise.
Buffalo has Diggs under contract though 2027 (although speculation about his satisfaction regarding his situation and his financial outlook have been a major talking point for some time now). The Bills invested a first-round pick in tight end Dalton Kincaid last April, and he delivered an encouraging rookie season. 2022 fifth-rounder Khalil Shakir also took a substantial step forward in production last season, and he could be in line to operate as the team’s No. 2 wideout if Davis were to depart.
The latter is set to join the likes of Tee Higgins, Michael Pittman Jr., Mike Evans, Calvin Ridley and Marquise Brown as free agent wideouts in March (although the franchise tag looms as an option for that list to dwindle between now and the start of the league year). Given Davis’ age and proven ability as a vertical threat, he could very well receive offers the cap-strapped Bills are unable to match. A deal keeping him in Buffalo could still be worked out in the near future, but signs continue to point to a departure this offseason

‘ as Buffalo seeks out a dependable secondary option to complement Stefon Diggs.’
That’s funny. I’ve watched a lot of Bills football and Diggs IS a secondary compliment.
What the team needs is a number one WR that can get open and stretch the field. Diggs is in decline and no longer is able to get the separation that he could a few years ago. I’m not down on Diggs, he can still be useful in the right role but he’s miscast as a number one receiver.
Diggs lost a step this year, but not having another quality receiver to complement hi on the other side has been an issue. Bills’ fans will be disappointed if they don’t use their number one on a WR, perhaps even trade up.
He is too much boom or bust. Limited skill set.
I really like Gabe, but not in any starting role.
#buthisblocking!
I get tired of hearing about his blocking. Catch passes man! Thats job 1. Don’t disappear for games at a time.
Let someone else give him 45 million.
If they could find a way to sign Mike Evans to a 2 year contract.
Davis is Valdes-Scantling. Will get big money to move on and will continue to disappoint a different fan base.
In my head I can see him with the rebuilding Patriots. They have over 95 mill in cap and he would compliment their eventual new QB pretty well. Also could see him in a outside role with the Browns or Giants
