Jets Emerge as Top Destination for Davante Adams if Raiders Explore Trade Options

The New York Jets have reportedly become the favored landing spot for Davante Adams if the Las Vegas Raiders decide to trade their star wide receiver. A potential reunion with former Green Bay Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers has fueled speculation, and oddsmakers have quickly adjusted their lines.

According to SportsBetting.ag, the Jets opened as the favorites at +100, but the odds quickly shifted to -150 following reports from ESPN that Adams prefers either New York or New Orleans. A move to the Jets would reunite Adams with Rodgers, who he played with for eight seasons in Green Bay, forming one of the most dynamic quarterback-receiver duos in recent NFL history.

Saints Also in the Mix

The New Orleans Saints have emerged as another potential destination, with their odds of landing Adams dropping from +700 to +300. A reunion with quarterback Derek Carr, Adams’ former Raiders teammate and college quarterback at Fresno State, could be appealing. The Saints are currently tied with the Washington Commanders for the second-best odds.

While adding Adams would significantly bolster the Saints’ offense, the Commanders may also see him as a game-changer. However, Washington might prioritize strengthening their defense, which currently ranks 27th in the league, over making a splash for an elite offensive weapon.

Other Contenders: Cowboys and Chiefs

The Dallas Cowboys, initially longshots at +6600, saw their odds dramatically shorten as analysts speculated that Adams could be the perfect addition to boost an offense that heavily relies on CeeDee Lamb. Owner Jerry Jones is known for making bold moves, and acquiring Adams would instantly elevate the Cowboys’ Super Bowl hopes.

The Kansas City Chiefs, who opened at +500, have seen their odds slip as they reportedly assess the health of wide receiver Rashee Rice before considering any moves. Although the Chiefs could benefit from adding Adams to their receiving corps, they appear to be taking a cautious approach.

Davante Adams’ Next Team Odds

• Jets (-150)
• Saints (+300)
• Commanders (+300)
• Steelers (+700)
• Chiefs (+1200)
• Cowboys (+1200)

Adams’ Career and Contract Situation

Adams has been a dominant force since joining the Raiders, surpassing 1,000 receiving yards in both of his first two seasons. He led the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns in 2022, racking up 1,516 yards, and followed that up with 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023.

This season, Adams has caught 18 of 27 targets for 209 yards and one touchdown in the first three games. He missed last week’s victory against the Cleveland Browns due to a hamstring injury.

Under contract through 2026, Adams is a significant long-term investment for any team interested in trading for him. According to reports, the Raiders are seeking a substantial return, including at least a second-round draft pick and additional compensation.

NFL Trade Deadline Approaching

With the trade deadline looming on Nov. 5, teams interested in acquiring Adams will need to act quickly. While his desire to reunite with either Aaron Rodgers or Derek Carr may drive trade discussions, the final decision will likely depend on which team is willing to meet Las Vegas’ asking price.

As the NFL season progresses, all eyes will be on Adams and whether the Raiders choose to part ways with their star wideout.
