Davante Adams Declines to Set Retirement Date

Overview

• During a Wednesday interview on Up & Adams, Adams said he does not know if he will play until age 37 and would not commit to a retirement timeline.
• The 33-year-old is entering his 13th NFL season and is in the final year of a two-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams.
• Adams has remained highly productive early in 2026, recording 11 catches for 221 yards and two touchdowns through two games, including a 195-yard, two-touchdown outing in Week 2.
• He had previously said he would retire when quarterback Matthew Stafford does, but his recent comments stressed personal readiness over linking his exit to another player's timeline.
• The open timeline keeps the Rams' short-term plans and Adams’s pursuit of career milestones in focus, with his health, game performance and contract status as key signs to watch for whether he continues past 2026.
