Jets Exploring Davante Adams Trade, Release Likely If No Deal Reached

The New York Jets are seeking to offload wide receiver Davante Adams due to his substantial cap hit, signaling a major roster overhaul.

The Jets have officially placed Davante Adams on the trading block, citing his $38.2 million cap hit as a key motivator for the move.
If no trade partner is found, the Jets are expected to release Adams, which could save the team nearly $30 million in cap space before June 1.
Adams, 32, recorded 85 receptions for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024, despite splitting time between the Jets and Raiders and missing three games.
Adams' next destination could align with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is also departing the Jets, with teams like the Giants, Packers, and California-based franchises reportedly interested.
The Jets' decision reflects broader organizational changes under new leadership, including a new head coach and general manager, as they aim to rebuild the roster.
