Excused from team activities for the last 10 days, New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis says he's "stepping away" from football.

Davis, 28, released a statement on his Instagram account, saying he had been mulling the decision for "some time now."

Davis, who skipped the voluntary portion of the offseason program, was due to make a non-guaranteed $10.5 million in the final year of his contract. 

The Tennessee Titans drafted Davis fifth overall in 2017. He played four years in Tennessee, producing his best numbers in 2020 -- 65 catches, 984 yards and 5 touchdowns.
