The Kansas City Chiefs are doing everything they can to ensure quarterback Patrick Mahomes has enough playmakers to succeed. 

Kansas City has great young receivers like Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice, and Jalen Royals.

Mahomes needs a few more veteran wide receivers to complement Marquise Brown and Joe Summers from KC Kingdom thinks the team should sign veteran receiver Gabe Davis, who was released from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday. 

"He's a gamer, and someone who could potentially uplift the struggling wide receiver room. Davis made history in that contest and almost became one of the least popular athletes in Kansas City, yet there's a unique opportunity here that could benefit both parties," Summers wrote."Obviously, Rice, Worthy, Brown, and rookie Jalen Royals are the top four wideouts on the depth chart. JuJu Smith-Schuster and potentially even Moore can also play a role, yet there's room for improvement. Davis is a red-zone threat and could serve that purpose, despite the fact that he only caught 20 of 42 passes last year. For a low-cost, high-upside guy of his stature, Davis has a lot of promise. Still just 26 years old, he's entering his athletic prime. If the coaching staff believes in his ability, why not take a flier for training camp at the least?"

Jaguars cut big free-agent signing after just 1 season

Davis spent one season with the Jaguars, during which time he recorded 239 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 10 games.

The 26-year-old receiver has played in the NFL for five seasons, the first four with the Buffalo Bills, and has 2,969 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns.

 

Davis would be a nice option for the Chiefs and could give Mahomes more help.
