The Facts: Throughout the offseason, Davis' name often appeared as a potential cut or trade candidate for the New York Jets. HC Robert Saleh rebutted that notion Friday. "He's gonna be on the team, yeah," Saleh said when asked directly about the wideout's future.
Diehards Line:
The Jets signed Davis to a three-year, $37.5 million contract in 2021 as a go-to target. It hasn't worked out that way. In two seasons with Gang Green, Davis has caught 66 passes for 1,028 yards and six touchdowns in 22 games -- 46.72 yards per tilt. Garrett Wilson is the clear alpha, and offseason additions of Allen Lazard, Mecole Hardman and, most recently, Randall Cobb renewed speculation that Davis, set to have a base salary of $10.5 million, could be out. However, Salah underscored that Davis' size – 6-foot-3, 209 pounds – adds a different dimension to the WR room. "To have a guy like Allen and Corey, and then you add Garrett, and you add Mecole with all the speed, and all the competition that's gonna happen at that 5, 6 spot, Randall and all that, it's a really cool group of receivers, and I'm excited to see how it shakes out. ..." Saleh insists in May that Davis will be on the team. We'll see if that "shakes out" true in September.
