Reports have surfaced that Davante Adams prefers to be traded, and the Las Vegas Raiders are open to moving him, which has led to lots of speculation about where the star wide receiver could be headed.
It seems like everyone has their own idea of where Adams will land and what the best destination for him would be, and one team has been mentioned as much as, if not more, than any other.
“A [New York] Jets-Raiders trade for Davante Adams seems inevitable. ‘He wants to be here and we want him here,’ a Jets team source told me. The two teams have been talking for roughly a week now, I’m told,” Connor Hughes of SNY wrote on X.

But how and when will it get done?

While the Raiders are likely going nowhere because of their roster weaknesses, the Jets feel stuck, especially on offense.
The play of quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been underwhelming, and Adams could be the type of proven threat who could give his former Green Bay Packers teammate a boost.
They played together for eight seasons, and Adams eventually established himself as one of the NFL’s best wideouts.
They made four appearances in the NFC Championship Game, in the 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020 seasons, but lost all four.
Plenty of people felt the Jets had a real shot of reaching the AFC Championship Game this season, but an abysmal Week 4 loss to the Denver Broncos was cause for lots of concern.
At 31 years old, Adams is at the point of his career where he may have little left in his tank, and a win-now move would be best for him right now.
