Davante Adams Signs on in LA

With the release of Cooper Kupp, many were left speculating how the Los Angeles Rams would look to fill the WR2 void next to Puka Nacua. As discussions unfolded, numerous names circulated within the organization. There was a prevailing sentiment that the Rams would lean toward signing a younger player on a more budget-friendly deal, especially after shedding a significant amount of salary with Kupp’s departure. However, in a surprising turn of events, the Rams opted for a different strategy altogether, targeting high-profile, three-time All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams as their marquee offseason acquisition.

In an official announcement, the Rams revealed that six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Davante Adams had agreed to a lucrative two-year deal with the organization. The contract stipulates an $8 million base salary for the 2025 season and an impressive $16 million slated for 2026. Notably, Adams’ 2025 base salary is fully guaranteed, along with a $6 million roster bonus, which becomes guaranteed on the third day of the 2026 league year. In addition to these monetary details, the contract includes a $12 million signing bonus and the potential for $1 million in incentives each year, incentivizing Adams to continue performing at a high level.

At 32 years old, Davante Adams brings a wealth of experience to the Rams. Over 11 seasons, he has established himself as a formidable force on the field, recording an impressive 957 receptions for 11,844 yards and 103 touchdowns.

Adams experienced a somewhat slow start last season but rallied impressively toward the end. He finished the year strong, amassing 67 catches for 854 yards and seven touchdowns in just 11 games with the New York Jets. When accounting for his production from his tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders, he crossed the 1,000-yard threshold for the fifth consecutive season—a testament to his consistency and skill. His standout performance included a remarkable nine catches for 198 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars, showcasing his ability to dominate a game and make impactful plays when they matter most.

As the Rams prepare to integrate Adams into their lineup, fans can anticipate a revamped air attack, with Matthew Stafford firmly positioned under center. This is a significant move for both the Rams and Adams, as both are chasing the ultimate goal of bringing the Lombardi Trophy back to Los Angeles.
