Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss had some compelling advice for Las Vegas Raiders star Davante Adams as trade rumors surrounding the veteran wide receiver and New York Jets continue to ramp up.
Davante Adams has been linked to the Jets for almost a year now, and for one obvious reason: His former Green Bay Packers teammate, Aaron Rodgers, was traded to the Jets ahead of last year’s draft.
In fact, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported last November that the Jets contacted the Raiders about a possible Adams trade, but Las Vegas made it clear that the perennial Pro Bowler was not available.
During his appearance on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams”, Randy Moss advised Adams to reunite with Rodgers in New York and pursue a championship ring:
“I don’t see why he should not chase a ring….he’s made enough money…For him to chase a ring, I mean, I chased one…when I let go of Minnesota Vikings, I didn’t know what I was gonna do or where I was gonna go. And then I had an opportunity to go play for the Patriots…
The advice for him, just keep being yourself man and go get a ring. If he has an opportunity to get it, I don’t think he has had an opportunity to be in the big game yet…when you sit up here and work so hard to get to a point…I wish him well, and I want him to go get it.”
Moss added that he doesn’t view the Raiders as a team close to title contention since they play in the same division as Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Moss spent two years (2005 to 2006) on a struggling Oakland Raiders team before he was traded to the Patriots in the 2007 offseason. Needless to say, the move revived the longtime Vikings superstar’s career.
Moss and Tom Brady set numerous records together in 2007, and the Patriots won their first 18 games en route to a Super Bowl 42 appearance. There, they fell to Eli Manning’s New York Giants in a historic upset.
Davante Adams Makes Perfect Sense For Jets
The Jets are in win-now mode with a 40-year-old Rodgers as their quarterback. Together, Rodgers and Adams led the Packers to four NFC Championship Game appearances (2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020).
With the Raiders nowhere close to Super Bowl contention, it only makes sense for Adams to reunite with the four-time MVP and pursue a Super Bowl contender in New York. Just look at the 2020 Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who reunited Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski en route to a Super Bowl 55 championship.
The Raiders could use draft capital to help their rebuilding phase, and Adams is one of their best trade chips. If the Jets were to land Adams, they would emerge as Kansas City’s’ biggest challenger in the AFC.
