Jets acquiring Raiders WR Davante Adams for conditional 3rd-round pick
Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are back together again. The New York Jets are acquiring the two-time All-Pro receiver from the Las Vegas Raiders in a blockbuster trade.
In exchange for Adams, the Jets will send the Raiders a conditional third-round pick that can become a second-rounder based on performance, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Adams requested a trade from the Raiders two weeks ago and Las Vegas has finally found a team willing to (almost) meet its asking price of a second-round pick.
Adams has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury. He has 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown so far this season, struggling to get any sort of consitent play from Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew.
In New York, Adams reunites with Rodgers. The two played together in Green Bay from 2014-2021, a period in which Adams was a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro.
Adams, 31, still has two years left on his contract after this season, with cap hits of $44.1 million in 2025 and $45.1 million in 2026. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that the Jets will take on all of Adams' remaining contract.
New York, which is sitting at 2-4 following Monday night's loss to the Bills, was looking for a spark on offense and now gets one with the addition of Adams.
