FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis, away from the team for more than a week on an excused personal leave, announced Wednesday he's "stepping away" from football.
The 28-year-old Davis, a high-priced, free-agent addition in 2021, released a statement on his Instagram page, saying he had been mulling the decision for "some time now." He never used the word "retirement" and never gave a specific reason for walking away.
Davis, who skipped the voluntary portion of the offseason program, was due to make a non-guaranteed $10.
