Jets Release Davante Adams After Unproductive Season

The move clears nearly $30 million in cap space as the Jets overhaul their roster following a disappointing 2024 campaign.

Davante Adams was released by the New York Jets after just 11 games with the team, where he recorded 67 catches, 854 yards, and seven touchdowns.
The Jets' decision to part ways with Adams follows their earlier announcement to release quarterback Aaron Rodgers, marking a shift in the team's direction under new leadership.
The release saves the Jets $29.9 million in salary cap space, though it incurs an $8.4 million dead cap hit, as Adams had no guaranteed money remaining on his contract.
Adams immediately becomes a top free agent, with potential landing spots including the Packers, Chargers, 49ers, Rams, and other receiver-needy teams, many of which are speculated to align with his preference for West Coast or contending teams.
The Jets are also exploring moves for other Rodgers-associated players, including Allen Lazard, as they aim to rebuild their roster under new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey.
