Adams and A-Rod were teammates for 8 seasons and formed a prolific partnership. He constantly keeps in touch with Aaron. So pursuit by the Jets doesn’t come as a surprise. It will be nothing new, as WR Randall Cobb and Offensive Tackle Billy Turner from the Packers have joined the Jets since Rodgers’s move to the Big Apple.
Devante has previously said that he is still happy as a Raider on an episode of the Rich Eisen Show. About the potential rumour, he said-
” I am happy to be a Raider, 100 per cent. This was my choice and this is something that I’m standing by, I want to continue to work at, to make it what it’s supposed to be. I’m not happy at every moment with the way things go, but I’m proud to wear this uniform.”
Ever since Josh McDaniels has been sacked and Antonio Pierce has taken over, there has been a reversal of fortunes for the Raiders and Adams’s form has picked up. But the constant pursuit and an opportunity to rejoin his buddy Rodgers will prove too much for him especially if the Raiders sanction his trade.
Jets are 4-5 this season. Their offense has performed miserably this season with Zach Wilson. Their chances of making playoffs keep getting slimmer. But will Davante Adams be able to revive this team?
