Davante Adams found a crafty and hysterical way to break the silence on his trade to the New York Jets this morning.
On Tuesday, news broke that the Las Vegas Raiders traded Davante Adams to the Jets for a conditional third-round draft selection that can become a second. The deal reunites the All-Pro wide receiver with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Adams’ teammate in Green Bay from 2014 to 2021.
The trade was being discussed during Rodgers’ weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” today. Then, unexpectedly, Adams shocked McAfee and the audience by appearing right behind Rodgers.
“We’re back man, we’re back,” an enthused Adams told McAfee.
Two weeks ago, it was reported that Davante Adams had requested a trade from the Raiders amid reports that he was unhappy with the organization. Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce was even caught “liking” an Instagram post about the 31-year-old possibly playing his last game for the organization.

The Jets fell 23-20 to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night and are now 2-4, albeit only one game out of the final wild card spot in the AFC. Adams has missed the last three weeks with a hamstring injury, and it remains to be seen if he can play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7.
In his final three games as a Raider, Adams caught 18 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown. The six-time Pro Bowler has 890 career receptions for 10,990 yards and 96 touchdowns.
Davante Adams Is What The Jets Needed
The Jets offense has not come as advertised, with Rodgers still yet to post a 300-yard game with his new team. Running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Garrett Wilson had largely underperformed up until their strong Week 6 outings against Buffalo.
But with Rodgers’ greatest wide receiver ever making his way to New York, the 2-4 Jets suddenly have hope again.
