Jets, Cowboys and other fits

Are Davante Adams and the Las Vegas Raiders heading for a divorce?

According to NFL Network, Adams told the Raiders that he would prefer to be traded. The Raiders would reportedly consider trading the six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver.

Adams, 31, is currently battling a hamstring injury that sidelined him in Week 4. There are rumors that Adams’ relationship with members of the Raiders organization is deteriorating. Adams fueled the rumors that surfaced on Tuesday’s “Up & Adams” with Kay Adams.

Adams’ contract runs through the 2026 season, but his contract is not fully guaranteed after that year. Could another team acquire the 11-year veteran? USA TODAY Sports is looking at possible five landing sports for Adams.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers had trade parameters in place to acquire 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk before Aiyuk decided to return to action in San Francisco. The Steelers want another threat in George Pickens, who is the Steelers’ only wide receiver and has more than eight receptions entering Week 5.

Justin Fields’ continued development as a passer and his comfort in Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s scheme could tempt the club to aggressively pursue a wide receiver.

According to Over The Cap, the Steelers have around $10.5 million in cap space.

New York Jets

A reunion between Adams and Aaron Rodgers?

Their chemistry and success on the field is undeniable; Adams and Rodgers played eight seasons together with the Packers. During his time in Green Bay, he had three seasons with at least 100 receptions and 1,000 yards.

Rodgers publicly advocated for a reunion with Adams in July.

Adams wouldn’t mind playing next to the QB again.

“If I’m going to be reunited with anyone, it’s going to be Aaron,” Adams said on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast this offseason.

Additionally, Rodgers and Garrett Wilson have struggled to get on the same line in 2024, which could force the Jets to make a move.

The Jets have $16.8 million in cap space available via Over the Cap.

Kansas City Chiefs

Injuries have decimated the Chiefs wide receiver corps. Adams would drastically improve Kansas City’s wide receiver room upon his arrival. His route running and pass catching skills would make the Chiefs offense even more dynamic.

Would the Raiders trade Adams within the division? The chances of Las Vegas sending Adams to an AFC West rival are slim.

The Chiefs have won the AFC West eight straight seasons, the second-longest streak of division championships for a team since 1970. The Chiefs already have a two-game lead in the division this year. Adams would help Kansas City to its ninth straight AFC West title and make them the prohibitive favorite to become the first team ever to score three goals as Super Bowl champions.

Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys don’t have a reliable wide receiver other than CeeDee Lamb.

Receivers Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks combined for 22 catches and 251 receiving yards. Lamb has 20 receptions and 316 receiving yards alone. The Cowboys did virtually nothing to improve their offense in the offseason.

Jerry Jones could significantly boost Dallas’ offense with the addition of Adams. The Cowboys haven’t had a smooth route runner like Adams since Amari Cooper.

The Cowboys recently signed Lamb and Dak Prescott to lucrative contract extensions, but the franchise still has more than $23.7 million in available salary cap space.

However, keep in mind that the Cowboys need to prioritize an extension for Micah Parsons in the near future.

Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers are without a No. 1 wide receiver after letting Mike Williams out the door and trading Keenan Allen. Adams would immediately give the Chargers a true X-wide receiver in Justin Herbert.

Los Angeles has the second-worst passing offense in the NFL entering Week 5, with just 544 passing yards on the season.

The Raiders might be hesitant to trade Adams to an AFC West rival. But Raiders GM Tom Telesco and the Chargers could be willing to negotiate a mutually beneficial deal. Telesco was GM of the Chargers from 2013 to 2023.

The Chargers have approximately $7.8 million in cap space available, according to Over the Cap.
