Tue May 13 06:00:00 UTC 2025: ## 49ers Host Veteran Wide Receiver Gabriel Davis Amidst Receiving Corps Uncertainty

**Santa Clara, CA** – The San Francisco 49ers are exploring options to bolster their wide receiver corps, hosting veteran Gabriel Davis for a visit, according to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz. Davis, recently released by the Jacksonville Jaguars after a disappointing season cut short by a meniscus tear, is expected to be fully recovered by the 2025 season.

While the 49ers don’t necessarily have a pressing need at wide receiver, the departure of Deebo Samuel and the ongoing recovery of Brandon Aiyuk from a significant knee injury leaves a gap in their starting lineup. Jauan Jennings’ breakout performance last season and rookie Ricky Pearsall’s potential offer some hope, but the team’s depth is currently thin.

Davis, despite a statistically underwhelming year in Jacksonville, boasts a proven track record as a deep threat from his time with the Buffalo Bills. His addition would provide valuable experience and potentially allow the 49ers’ more versatile receivers to operate from the slot. However, his recent struggles will likely necessitate a “prove-it” contract, a one-year deal to re-establish his value. He’ll face competition from other veteran receivers currently vying for a roster spot. The 49ers’ decision on Davis will hinge on whether he can demonstrate his previous capabilities and fill the void in their receiving unit.
