The New York Jets are reportedly moving on from Davante Adams.
The star wide receiver reunited with former Green Bay Packers teamamte Aaron Rodgers in NY in 2024, but the pairing didn’t do much to boost the team’s playoff hopes, and it appears they’re set for an overhaul as they’re parting ways with both players.
According to SportsKeeda’s Tony Pauline, the Jets will release Adams before free agency starts next week, despite receiving calls from other teams asking to trade for him.
This hardly comes as a surprise, as the team was expected to move on from Adams as soon as they announced they were done with Rodgers.
The former Packers and Las Vegas Raiders star played 11 games for the Jets, making 67 catches for 854 yards and seven touchdowns. The numbers, while decent, fell below the standard Adams set for himself.
Why The Jets Are Reportedly Cutting Davante Adams Instead Of Trading Him
Trading Adams would have probably been more costly for New York. He is owed $72 million over the next two years, and a trade partner would have likely wanted the Jets to pick up some of that while offering little in return.
