After spending his first four years with the Buffalo Bills, wide receiver Gabe Davis is expected to be headed for free agency.
The same can be said of Darnell Mooney and the Chicago Bears, who are likely to part ways after four seasons.
NFL.com’s Kevin Patra listed one offseason move for all 30 teams not competing in the Super Bowl, and for the Bears, it’s simple: add playmakers on offense. He listed Davis and Arizona Cardinals WR Marquise Brown as two WRs Chicago should pursue to pair with top wideout DJ Moore.
Moore is a stud the Bears need to supplement. Adding a field-stretching veteran like Marquise Brown or Gabe Davis would fit nicely,” Patra wrote on February 6.
Would Bears Be Getting WR2 Upgrade in Gabe Davis?
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Mooney is a very different wide receiver than the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Davis. Both are four-year vets. Mooney has played in 60 games; Davis has played in 64. The Bills WR has better numbers, though.
Mooney has 213 receptions for 2,593 yards (12.2 yards per catch) and 11 touchdowns. Davis has 163 catches for 2,730 yards (16.7 yards per catch) and 27 TDs. While both have been deep threats at times, Davis is clearly the bigger red zone threat. He also has proven himself in big games, whereas Mooney hasn’t had the opportunity to play in many.
