Rumors on Davante Adams reuniting with former Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers in New York have surfaced days after the quarterback took a $35 million pay cut to allow the Jets added flexibility.
Adams and Rodgers played together for eight seasons before the wide receiver was traded to the Raiders last year, while Adams joined the Jets via trade earlier in the offseason.
As far-fetched as it may be, speculation over the possibility of a reunion has emerged on the back of Rodgers agreeing a two-year deal with his new team that would see him earn $75 million as opposed to $110 million.
The significant pay cut could theoretically be used to sign Adams, though it is a long shot as the WR signed a five-year deal worth $140 million with the Raiders after his arrival and will be the highest-earning receiver next season as he’s set to make $26.64 million.
While it’s fun to consider, the Jets would find it difficult to present Vegas with attractive trade capital. The wideout might not be happy in the wake of the team’s decision pertaining to his good friend Derek Carr, but a move to the Jets is very unlikely right now.
