The New York Jets have acquired wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a third-round draft pick that could become a second-round pick. The trade reunites Adams with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, aiming to strengthen the Jets' struggling offense. The Jets will assume the remainder of Adams' contract, taking on his base salaries of $11.59 million in 2024, $36.25 million in 2025, and $36.25 million in 2026. The Raiders will not pay any of Adams' remaining salary and will carry an $8 million dead cap charge in 2025. Adams, who had been dealing with a hamstring injury, is expected to be fine and has already arrived at the Jets' facility for a physical. The trade was in place before the Jets' game last night and has now been made official. Jets owner Woody Johnson expressed excitement about the acquisition, stating, "He'll open everything up." Adams and Rodgers previously played together for the Green Bay Packers, where they combined for 622 receptions, 7,590 receiving yards, and 69 touchdowns. Following the trade, the Jets are planning to make wide receiver Mike Williams available for trade.
