Davante Adams Trade Rumors: Raiders Star Wants to Move Jets; Open to cowboys, more teams | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

Davante Adams reportedly wants to reunite with Aaron Rodgers as a member of the New York Jets, but he isn’t opposed to playing for other teams.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that the Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver “wants to play for the Jets” after informing the team Monday that he would prefer to be traded. However, he has not “demanded” to be moved to New York and would instead be open to playing with multiple other teams if he is traded.

Rapoport mentioned the New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers as other possible landing spots.

This isn’t the first time the veteran wide receiver has been connected to the Jets.

On Wednesday, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported that many around the league believe the AFC East team will be his ultimate destination. ESPN’s Adam Schefter listed the Jets and Saints as teams on Adams’ wish list because he wants to play with a big-name quarterback, while Albert Breer of The MMQB reported that other teams believe “the Raiders star is focused on pulling off a trade” to New York.

That doesn’t mean a deal is imminent.

Adams missed the Raiders’ Week 4 game against the Cleveland Browns due to a hamstring injury, and the Jets and other teams certainly want to see if he’s healthy before giving up significant value.

And the wide receiver would likely have to facilitate a move by reworking his contract, which will give him a base salary of $35.6 million in 2025 and 2026.

Russini noted that the contract situation could yield other possible suitors:
