The Jets are finalizing a trade with the Raiders to acquire star wide receiver Davante Adams, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Determined to save their season from ruin and preserve their hopes of ending a half-century Super Bowl drought, the New York Jets are finalizing a blockbuster trade for star wide receiver Davante Adams, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
The Las Vegas Raiders will receive a conditional third-round draft pick that could improve to a second-round selection, sources told Schefter.
The Jets are assuming the balance of Adams’ remaining salary, a source told Schefter. Adams’ salary for this season is $17.5 million, with approximately $13.5 million still owed through the end of the season. And while he is under contract for 2025 and 2026, his annual salary jumps to $36.25 million for each of those seasons.
The trade will reunite Adams with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the hopes of recreating one of the most dangerous duos in recent NFL history.
Adams, who turns 32 on Dec. 24, is a six-time Pro Bowl selection who achieved his greatest success with Rodgers as his quarterback with the Green Bay Packers. From 2014 to 2021, they combined for 615 completions, 7,529 yards and 68 touchdowns. They were the NFL’s second-most prolific tandem over that span, trailing only Matt Ryan and Julio Jones of the Atlanta Falcons.
