Corey Davis: May not return to playing
Corey Davis has decided he doesn't want to return to the NFL, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.After announcing his retirement last August, Davis applied for reinstatement this March and was subsequently released by the Jets so that he could pursue an opportunity elsewhere. The wideout had a tryout with the Bills this week, but it appears that nothing will come of it given Cappacio's report. Davis is only 29 years old, but it was never a given that he'd land a significant role with an NFL club if he did decide to return given that he hasn't suited up since 2022.

Corey Davis: Gets tryout with Buffalo
The Bills hosted Corey Davis for a tryout Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.Davis retired last August while he was with the Jets, but he applied for reinstatement to the NFL back in March, and he's now attempting to latch on with a new AFC East team. Buffalo could be looking to replace the big-bodied Chase Claypool (toe) at training camp, as he landed on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday. If Davis signs with the Bills, he could push fellow veterans Mack Hollins, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and KJ Hamler for a depth role in the receiver room.

Corey Davis: Planning NFL return
Corey Davis has applied for reinstatement to the NFL and the Jets are expected to release him from the reserve/retired list Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.Davis could also return to New York on a new contract, after he stepped away from the team and into retirement last August. The 29-year-old wideout put up a 32-536-2 line in his last played season, when he suited up for 13 games with the Jets back in 2022. He should be able to contribute as a depth receiver as long as it doesn't take too long to catch back up to speed, whether he ultimately re-ups with New York or lands elsewhere.

Jets' Corey Davis: In uniform Saturday
Corey Davis is suited up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Panthers, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.Davis didn't play in the New York Jets' first exhibition, but it looks like he'll get a taste of game action Saturday along with Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman. However, the Jets will be without Aaron Rodgers, Garrett Wilson (ankle), Randall Cobb and Breece Hall (knee), so Davis should be a top target for Zach Wilson versus Carolina.

Jets' Corey Davis: Gets verbal support of head coach
New York Jets coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Corey Davis "will be on this team" in 2023, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.Between a busy offseason for the Jets and Davis' non-guaranteed $10.5 million base salary, the 28-year-old wideout has been oft-mentioned as a potential cap casualty. The Jets traded WR Elijah Moore to Cleveland in late March, but only after signing Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman, and they later added Randall Cobb to give QB Aaron Rodgers another one of his former receivers from Green Bay. Saleh pointed to Davis' blocking and "big boy catches" as reasons he'd stay with the Jets, but it still won't be much of a surprise if the front office has other ideas. Davis has played 22 of a possible 34 games since joining the Jets, catching 66 of 123 targets (53.7 percent) for 1,028 yards (15.6 YPR, 8.4 YPT) and six touchdowns. The rate numbers aren't bad considering the lousy QB play he's dealt with, but $10.5 million is a lot to pay for a receiver who isn't even guaranteed a full-time role.

Jets' Corey Davis: Totals 536 yards in 2022
Corey Davis caught one of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins. He finished the season with 32 catches on 64 targets for 536 yards and two touchdowns.Davis needed just nine games to rack up 34 catches for 492 yards and four touchdowns in 2021. He played four more games in the 2022 campaign but had two fewer catches and two fewer touchdowns while totaling only 44 more yards. Rookie first-round pick Garrett Wilson emerged as the go-to option in the New York Jets' passing game, and the team's poor quarterback play didn't leave room for another receiver to produce consistently. Davis -- who turns 28 on Jan. 11 -- has one more year left on his contract but no guaranteed money.
