Rams Keep Davante Adams After Spring Trade Talks

McVay said the team kept Adams to preserve leadership and maintain the Rams’ offensive identity.

Overview

  • Coach Sean McVay said on Sunday the Rams explored trading Davante Adams while pursuing A.J. Brown but ultimately decided it "wasn't best for our football team."
  • Davante Adams addressed the rumors at training camp by calling them part of the business and saying he is happy to remain a Ram.
  • The team’s financial commitments shaped the choice because Adams carries a roughly $28 million cap charge for 2026 and received a $6 million roster bonus in March.
  • Adams finished 2025 with 60 catches, 789 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns, which reinforced his on-field value and role as a scoring focal point.
  • The Rams made other big offseason moves on defense, including trading Jared Verse and picks for Myles Garrett, while Adams enters the final year of his two-year, $44 million deal and his long-term future remains unsettled.
