REPORT: NFL Teams Are Convinced Davante Adams Is ‘Engineering’ Trade To New York Jets

Davante Adams may already have a trade destination in mind and is doing everything he can to make it happen.

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported Wednesday that the teams involved int rate talks for Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davanate Adams believe he’s “engineering” a trade to the New York Jets where he reunited with Aaron Rodgers.

Breer adds the Bills and Steelers are among the teams who’ve inquired with Las Vegas for Adams.

I’d put the Bills in the same category as the Saints (Adams did show some interest in going there, too), in that the cap implications would be tough to overcome in getting a deal done. Obviously, Adams’ relationships with QBs play into his preferences.

Adams spent his first eight years of his career with the Packers and Rodgers throwing him passes. The two became one of the most dangerous quarterback-receiver combinations in the NFL. In 116 games over the span, Adams had 669 catches for 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns. He made five Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams.

The Packers traded Adams to the Raiders in March 2022 in exchange for a first-round pick and a second-rounder. That deal reunited the star receiver with his college quarterback Derek Carr. With Carr left the Raiders to join the New Orleans Saints after the 2022 season, leaving Adams with an unstable quarterback situation.
