Jets WR Davante Adams Thinks Packers Could Use Receiving Help

Green Bay lost in the Wild Card round to the Eagles in a game where nobody on the Packers had 50 or more receiving yards.

Jets WR Davante Adams could be a name on the move yet again, as the team could be headed towards a rebuild that he likely wouldn’t want to be a part of at 33 years old.

It was previously reported that Adams wants to play with QB Aaron Rodgers in 2025, but the veteran signal caller’s future is in doubt as he would be entering his age 42 season.

After a tumultuous year that saw him play for two teams that weren’t in postseason contention, Adams hinted at a potential reunion with the Packers for 2025, saying they could use help at the receiver position.

“It’s looking right now like they might need some receiver help in one way or the other,” Adams said, via the Up & Adams Show. “Maybe a veteran or something we’ll see.”

Adams, 32, is a former second-round pick out of Fresno State by the Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft. He was in the final year of a four-year, $3.933 million rookie contract when the Packers signed him to a four-year extension worth $58 million.

Adams made a base salary of $12 million for the 2021 season and was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2022 when the Packers used the franchise tag on him at a figure of $20.2 million. He was then traded to the Raiders for a first and second-round draft pick in 2022.

The Raiders also signed Adams to a five-year, $140 million contract as a part of the trade, including nearly $66 million guaranteed. Adams was in the third year of that deal when the Raiders traded him to the Jets during the 2024 season for a third-round pick.

Adams is due base salaries of $35.64 million over the next two seasons. 

In 2024, Adams appeared in three games for the Raiders and 11 games for the Jets, recording 85 receptions on 141 targets for 1,063 yards (12.5 YPC) and eight touchdowns.
