Raiders trade Adams to Jets for reported third-round pick originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

Davante Adams appears to be leaving Las Vegas to team up with an old friend once again.

The Las Vegas Raiders are trading the three-time All-Pro wide receiver to the New York Jets for a conditional third-round NFL Draft pick, reuniting him with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport first reported Tuesday morning before the team made the move official.

As Rapoport reported, the third-round pick the Jets are sending the Raiders can become a second-round pick depending on how Adams performs with New York.

While the trade reportedly is agreed to, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported shortly after that the move is expected to be finalized at some point on Tuesday and that Las Vegas is not paying any of Adams’ remaining salary.

Adams arrived in Las Vegas in 2022 after spending his first eight NFL seasons with Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. He made the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Raiders and had his fifth career 100-catch, 1,000-yard season in 2023.

The 31-year-old wideout has 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown so far in 2024. He missed the team’s last three games with a hamstring injury.

Following the Raiders’ Week 4 victory, Adams reportedly “preferred” to be traded out of Las Vegas. He told FanDuel’s Kay Adams on Oct. 1 that he had not heard from Antonio Pierce after the Raiders head coach appeared to like a social media post suggesting the team trade him.

The Jets and Saints were high on Adams’ list of potential landing spots, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Oct. 2. A trade to New Orleans would have reunited Adams with former Fresno State and Raiders teammate Derek Carr.
