Adams Wants Out of Las Vegas: Where Could the All-Pro WR Land?

•

Gargantuan news is emerging out of Las Vegas this week, as All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams has reportedly requested a trade. Frustration has been mounting for Adams during his tenure with the Raiders, and things have not gone as expected since his arrival. The team has compiled a 15-22 record since Adams joined, and multiple starting quarterbacks have come and gone. Most notably, the Raiders moved on from QB Derek Carr, Adams's college teammate and a major reason he came to Las Vegas—a decision that surely didn’t sit well with the star receiver.

Now, it appears the relationship between Adams and the Raiders is beyond repair, and speculation has shifted to which teams could be in the mix to acquire his services. Let’s explore two possible trade scenarios and the compensation the Raiders could receive in return.

Trade Scenario #1

Raiders Receive:

  • 2025 Second-Round Pick (Jets)
  • 2025 Fifth-Round Pick (Jets)

Jets Receive:

  • WR Davante Adams

This is one of the most discussed potential landing spots for Adams, and with good reason. The connection between Aaron Rodgers and Adams is undeniable, as they spent eight years together with the Packers, forming one of the NFL’s most dynamic QB-WR duos. Both Rodgers and Adams have expressed interest in a possible reunion since parting ways, and this trade could bring that dream back to life. With Rodgers leading the Jets, acquiring Adams would instantly upgrade the offense and potentially transform New York into a serious contender. Given the chemistry between the two, this scenario seems like the most likely option, with Rodgers pushing for the move.

Trade Scenario #2

Raiders Receive:

  • 2025 Second-Round Pick (Ravens)
  • 2026 Third-Round Pick (Ravens)

Ravens Receive:

  • WR Davante Adams

While more far-fetched, this trade scenario has some intriguing elements. Baltimore’s offense is already packed with talent, including Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, and adding Adams to that mix would make the Ravens a serious Super Bowl contender. Adams would fill the role of a true number one receiver, something Baltimore has lacked in recent years. With his arrival, the Ravens could boast one of the most dangerous offenses in the league. While it might require a hefty price, if Baltimore is committed to maximizing its current roster’s potential, a deal for Adams would make a lot of sense.
