The New York Jets have a lot to sort out this offseason, from Aaron Rodgers’ future to Davante Adams’ situation. Adams is still under contract but there’s a chance the Jets will release him as they start their rebuild under new head coach Aaron Glenn.
In the event that Adams gets cut, he’ll likely be a hot commodity on the open market. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Adams would at least be open to playing for teams like the Rams and Chargers as he is intrigued by a return to the West Coast, where he is from.
Here’s what Fowler wrote about Adams’ future in his notebook for ESPN.
The Jets must address the future of receiver Davante Adams, whose $38.3 million cap hit is untenable. A source told me Adams is intrigued by a return to the West Coast and would be open to potentially joining teams such as the Rams or Chargers — if he gets released. I would put the 49ers in the conversation, too. Adams grew up in Northern California.
The Rams have their own wide receiver decisions to sort through first before even considering any potential free agents. They’re attempting to trade Cooper Kupp and plan to part ways with the veteran wideout, while Tutu Atwell and Demarcus Robinson are both pending free agents, too.
Assuming the Rams move on from Kupp and don’t re-sign Robinson or Atwell, they could be in the market for a player like Adams. Of course, Adams may not be as intrigued by the Rams if Matthew Stafford doesn’t return, so that’s another domino that needs to fall.
