Davante Adams wants to return to the West Coast.
According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Adam is “intrigued” by returning to play on the West Coast and is “open” to teams like the Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers and San Francisco 49ers.
“The Jets must address the future of receiver Davante Adams, whose $38.3 million cap hit is untenable,” Fowler wrote. “A source told me Adams is intrigued by a return to the West Coast and would be open to potentially joining teams such as the Rams or Chargers — if he gets released. I would put the 49ers in the conversation, too. Adams grew up in Northern California.”
There’s an out in Adams’ contract that would carry a dead cap hit in 2025 of just $8.3 million, or a little over $2 million if he were released or traded after June 1. If he were to remain with the Jets on his current deal, he would carry a cap hit of $38.3 million in 2025 and 2026, so a contract restructure would be necessary.
He had 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns while splitting the 2024 season between the Las Vegas Raiders and Jets. This was his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season.
