NFL trade rumors: Davante Adams worries Aaron Rodgers won’t be Jets QB after 2024 | News, scores, highlights, stats and rumors

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is reportedly looking beyond 2024 for his potential landing spot as the NFL trade deadline approaches on November 5.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that the New York Jets and Raiders have “been in contact” about a potential trade for the wide receiver, but Adams has some reservations about Aaron Rodgers’ post-Aaron Rodgers days in New York.

“While Adams would like to be reunited with his former QB, I was told he was concerned about Rodgers’ plans to remain in New York beyond this season,” Russini wrote. “Adams does not have a no-trade clause in his current deal, so he has no choice as to where he ends up.”

Adams would immediately step in and become a dynamic target for Rodgers in New York. The two combined for 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns during their time together in Green Bay and Adams has remained an excellent receiver since joining the Raiders.

He has 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown in three games in 2024 and hasn’t had a season under 1,000 yards since 2019. He would fit into a receiving core that includes Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard as the Jets hope to reach the top. There are play-offs for the first time since 2010.

This is all great for the 2024 season, but the situation in New York could change quickly. Rodgers has one year left on his contract after this season, but the 40-year-old could be a candidate to retire after this season.

Tyrod Taylor and 2024 fifth-round pick Jordan Travis are the only other quarterbacks on the roster, so position stability after Rodgers leaves is dismal. While there is an ‘out’ on Adams’ contract after the 2024 season, he could still stay with his next team through the 2026 season and would likely have to see the aftermath of Rodgers’ time with the Jets.

While the potential of playing alongside Rodgers again may be intriguing for Adams, finding a team with a more stable quarterback situation for the next three years may be preferable.
