New York Jets Attempted to Trade for Star Wide Receiver Davante Adams before Deadline, Offer Rejected by Las Vegas Raiders

Jets pursued Adams in hopes of reuniting him with former Packers teammate, Aaron Rodgers, but rejection came amid turbulence in Raiders' management.

The New York Jets made an attempt to trade for Las Vegas Raiders' wide receiver Davante Adams ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline, aiming to reunite Adams with his former Packers teammate, Aaron Rodgers, who now plays for the Jets.
Discussions about acquiring Adams were taking place during the offseason, and the Jets intended to use him to complement their other wide receiver, Garrett Wilson.
The offer was rejected amid a turbulent period in Raiders' management, with both coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler getting fired just after the trade deadline.
Davante Adams expressed frustration about his role in Raiders' offense; he has 47 receptions for 539 yards and three touchdowns in the season's first eight games.
The Jets will get an up-close look at their desired trade target in Week 10, when they are scheduled to play against the Raiders.
