The Green Bay Packers made the bold decision to move on from Davante Adams during the 2022 off-season. The move came after the Packers reportedly lowballed Adams in contract negotiations, turning the relationship sour.
Adams made it clear he wanted to be traded to the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Packers obliged. However, another Adams trade is on the horizon according to Boomer Esiason.

According to Justin Fried of FanSided:
From Aaron Rodgers’ continued recruitment of his former teammate to comments made by both Adams and Rodgers, the idea of a former Packers reunion in Florham Park has become one of the biggest talking points of the summer for the Jets.
WFAN’s Boomer Esiason further fueled those rumors with a supposed report of his own on Monday. The former NFL quarterback insists that if an Adams trade does happen, and he seems to believe there’s a good chance it will, he knows when the expected target date is.
Esiason is reporting that an Adams trade would likely take place either in late August or early September just before the start of the 2024 season. That’s soon — very soon.
“The dead cap for the Raiders this year is $40 million [if they traded Adams]. I’m hearing that this is going to happen – if it does happen – in late August or early September. And the cap hit for him is $25 million.”
Of course, we need to address the proverbial elephant in the room here. This is a Boomer Esiason report. The former Jets QB doesn’t exactly have a stellar track record of accurate reporting.
This is the same individual who reported that Ben Johnson was a “lock” to become the Washington Commanders’ head coach just a few months ago. It’s also the same individual who was 100 percent positive that the same organization would be renamed the “Washington Admirals” a few years back.
Trades like this could only make sense if the Raiders are in desperation mode and the Jets feel they are true championship contenders.
Adams. Rodgers. This duo could certainly be capable of delivering a championship to a Jets team that last won a championship when the league played its third Super Bowl. In terms of the Raiders, Adams may not be interested in partnering with whomever wins their 2024 starting quarterback sweepstakes.
It will be interesting to see if Adams finishes his career in Las Vegas, or if he chases a championship elsewhere.
