Travis Hunter - English
The Jacksonville Jaguars have made a bold move that could skyrocket Travis Hunter‘s career while sending a clear message to the NFL: their superstar prospect will take on a major role on the offensive side. To clear the path, they’ve decided to part ways with wide receiver Gabriel Davis.

More Space, More Action for Travis Hunter
The Jaguars, who drafted the former Colorado Buffaloes wide receiver, have released Davis, a decision that comes after signing him to a three-year, $39 million contract in free agency.
According to ESPN’s Michael DiRocco, the Florida franchise will absorb a $20.3 million dead money hit against the salary cap for the 2025 season by cutting Davis.

Travis Hunter was Jacksonville’s most notable addition to their wide receiver corps via the draft, though they also signed Dyami Brown in free agency.
Head coach Liam Coen told the media after the first round of the NFL Draft that Travis Hunter would primarily develop as an offensive player early in his career.
It was precisely Hunter’s arrival, alongside rookie sensation Brian Thomas Jr., that left Davis with limited opportunities to shine on the field.
Additionally, Davis was a signing made under the previous regime of general manager Trent Baalke and former head coach Doug Pederson, so it’s no surprise that the team is seeking new pieces in this new era.
Gabriel Davis’ tenure in Jacksonville was marred by injuries. He dealt with knee and shoulder issues early in 2024 and suffered a meniscus tear that landed him on injured reserve before Week 13.
In the 10 games he played, Davis recorded 239 yards and two touchdowns on 20 receptions. At 26 years old, he’ll now have the chance to find a new team as a free agent.
Before joining the Jaguars, Davis established himself as a deep-threat receiver with the Buffalo Bills over four seasons. From 2020 to 2023, he averaged 16.2 yards per reception and scored 29 touchdowns in 74 games.
One of the most memorable moments of his career came in the 2021 playoffs, when he set a record by catching four touchdown passes against the Kansas City Chiefs in the now-legendary “13 seconds” AFC Divisional Round game.

Barcelona’s 4-3 Clasico win summed up a season of all-out attack – but should they add more control?
In a period when a small handful of superclubs regularly win the league, it can be difficult to differentiate between various title-winning campaigns. But Barcelona’s 2024-25 La Liga victory — albeit not yet mathematically certain — will live long in the memory.There are certain elements of this Barca season that are very specific to this particular title success. They’re playing in the city’s Olympic stadium rather than the Camp Nou. They’re using a new generation of world-class teenagers, led by Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. The thrilling victory over Real Madrid on Sunday completed a clean sweep of four Clasico victories this season. But, above all else, this Barcelona side has a distinct way of playing, broadly in keeping with the club’s traditions but also more daring, more extreme, and more end-to-end than anything in recent memory.AdvertisementSunday’s 4-3 victory summed […]
