Trade Rumors: Davante Adams Eyeing Jets, Saints; Chiefs Not in the Running

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024

Davante Adams, an NFL wide receiver in high demand, has shown an interest in joining the New York Jets or New Orleans Saints if he gets traded.

Adams prefers playing with quarterbacks he has previously teamed up with, like Aaron Rodgers from the Jets and Derek Carr from the Saints.

The Las Vegas Raiders have stated their willingness to trade Adams for a package that includes a second-round draft pick.

Despite rumors, the Kansas City Chiefs are not considered a realistic destination for Adams.

Adams joined the Raiders last year and played alongside Carr for one season before Carr was let go.

Rodgers has expressed interest in a reunion with Adams, comparing Jets receiver Garrett Wilson to Adams, even though Wilson has had a slow start.

The Jets' receiving corps also includes Allen Lazard and Mike Williams, while the Saints possess draft assets for a potential trade.

A hurdle in trading Adams is his salary, which increases to $36.25 million in 2025 and 2026.

The salary cap space of the Jets and Saints varies, which could influence their ability to acquire Adams.

Adams recently missed his first game as a Raider due to a hamstring injury, marking his first regular-season absence since 2021.

Throughout his NFL career, Adams has accumulated 890 receptions, 10,990 yards, and 96 touchdowns.
