“Stepping away from the game is the best path for me at this time,” said the veteran wide receiver, who was set for a major role, in a statement.
Earlier on Tuesday, though, Jets Coach Robert Saleh indicated to reporters that he expected Davis to return to the team. Asked at a news conference about when Davis might be back, SalehIn his statement, Davis said making his decision “has not been easy.”
“I’ve been searching my heart for what to do,” he wrote, “and I feel that stepping away from the game is the best path for me at this time.” He added that he felt blessed to have an “amazing family,” and he thanked the Jets for “supporting me through this process.”Davis did not specify that he is formally retiring, thus leaving the door open on an eventual return to the field.
After those two, the Jets must make do with Cobb, a 33-year-old who has notched just one season of over 450 yards since 2017, and Mecole Hardman, who has yet to shed his gadget-player reputation despite spending his first four seasons catching passes from Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City.
Ideally for New York, Davis would have made his decision in time for them to possibly land Odell Beckham Jr., who instead signed with the Baltimore Ravens, or DeAndre Hopkins, now a member of the Titans. As Cobb noted on “Hard Knocks,” Rodgers won’t bestow his passing prowess on just anybody.“If he don’t trust you, he’s not going to throw you the ball, I can promise you that,” Cobb was shown telling his fellow wide receivers in Tuesday’s episode.
