Trade rumors surrounding Las Vegas Raiders star receiver Davante Adams have been circulating, with some even suggesting a move to the New York Jets was a “done deal.” However, Adams’ agents, Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer, have dismissed these rumors as “baseless” and stated that there have been no trade talks regarding their client.
The speculations intensified following Adams’ appearance in the Netflix series “Receiver,” where his frustrations with the Raiders’ performance during the 2023 NFL season were highlighted. Adams was vocal about the changes that needed to be made within the team, including the benching of starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Despite the challenges, Adams expressed his commitment to remaining a Raider.
While there have been rumors about Adams’ desire to play elsewhere, particularly with the Jets and his former teammate Aaron Rodgers, who is now with New York, his current contract with the Raiders runs until the 2027 season. Although there is an opt-out option in 2025, it would result in a significant dead cap for the Raiders.
With training camp approaching, Adams’ focus remains on his commitment to the Raiders, as confirmed by the team’s new GM Tom Telesco. As the offseason progresses, actions will speak louder than rumors, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds for Davante Adams in the upcoming NFL season.
