Where could Davante Adams end up?

Where could Davante Adams end up?

2 minutes, 56 seconds Read

The situation surrounding Davante Adams quickly escalated. And unless the Raiders put together a winning streak that makes them real contenders in the AFC, Adams will be traded on or before the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

So where could he go?

Here's a spitball list of possible travel destinations. Teams that would be interested, could and/or should. In no order other than the way the 32 teams are categorized in my brain.

1. Jets.

There were some rumors in the preseason about a reunion between Adams and quarterback Aaron Rodgers. But do the Jets need Adams?

They have Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams. Would either of them be traded to the Raiders in a deal? If Davante becomes a Jet, someone will be the underdog when it comes to goals.

2. Bills.

You don't have a real #1 receiver and you're okay with that. It's still better to have one. Especially when they might otherwise have to defend Davante as a member of the Jets, who appear to be Buffalo's only real threat in the division.

3. Steelers.

They still don't have a clear No. 2 receiver behind George Pickens. (Perhaps Adams' presence would make Pickens the No. 2 pick.)

The Steelers were close to trading for 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk when he decided to stay put. The Steelers could still use help at this position, especially as they develop into real contenders.

4. Colts.

The Week 4 win over the Steelers makes the Colts a potential playoff team. Adams would help solidify their status, either in the hunt for a wild card or in an attempt to topple the Texans for the division title.

5. Chiefs.

They are the most obvious target. The question is whether the Raiders would trade Adams to a bitter division rival trying to make history with a third straight Super Bowl win.

If Adams were to become the No. 1 option in Kansas City and the Chiefs won their third straight title, Raiders fans might see it as an unforgivable move.

6. Commanders.

Jayden Daniels is the real deal. And with a receiver like Adams on the team, he would be even more effective.

7. Cowboys.

I didn't mention her during that time PFT Livebut then I remembered something Rodney Harrison said on Friday's show. They need more from the receivers not named CeeDee Lamb. Adams would give them that.

And remember: The Cowboys traded with the Raiders for Amari Cooper during the 2018 season. And it worked out very well for Dallas.

8. Packers.

Green Bay has a solid young group of receivers. With Christian Watson out for a while with a severe ankle sprain, Adams would bring skill, experience and a familiar face.

9. 49ers.

Could they decide to give up on Brandon Aiyuk not long after signing him to a long-term deal? If so, how about flip-flopping with the Raiders for Adams?

They would face a cap hit of $18.4 million in 2025 if they traded him now. And they will have paid him $23 million for less than a season of work.

But they could end up getting Adams and more for Aiyuk. If the Raiders wanted him. Or if the 49ers could find a separate trade partner for Aiyuk while also trading for Adams.
