Las Vegas Raiders superstar wide receiver Davante Adams has been the subject of trade rumors over the past year, even though he’s made it clear that he’s content where he is.
Many wondered if Davante Adams would be traded amid a frustrating season for the Raiders. He expressed his frustration with the club numerous times, but a strong finish (5-4 under Antonio Pierce) cooled down trade speculation.
If the Raiders get off to another sluggish start in 2024, however, new GM Tom Telesco may feel inclined to trade Adams for future assets. And if the future Hall of Famer hits the trade block, there won’t be a shortage of teams interested in his services.
Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport compiled a list of eight blockbuster trade ideas. One of those proposals has Las Vegas dealing Davante Adams to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a 2025 first-round pick:
“The Rams admittedly don’t really need Adams—Puka Nacua was a revelation as a rookie, breaking a 60-year-old record for receiving yards by a first-year player. Cooper Kupp has struggled with injuries the past two seasons, but in 2021 he won the receiving “Triple Crown” –leading the NFL in receptions, yards and receiving scores.
Adding Adams to that mix would give Matthew Stafford the most dangerous trio of wide receivers in the league….Want to seriously threaten a loaded San Francisco 49ers team in the NFC West in 2024? This is the kind of move it’s going to take.”
Davante Adams is one of the nastiest route runners in the last 25 years.

Rams GM Les Snead has traded first-round picks for veteran stars like Jalen Ramsey, Matthew Stafford and Brandin Cooks. The first two played pivotal roles in helping Los Angeles win Super Bowl 56 three seasons ago, so it makes sense for LA to consider another blockbuster trade for a big-named veteran.
Despite lackluster quarterback play in Vegas last year, Davante Adams managed to compile 103 receptions for 1,144 yards and eight touchdowns. For his career, the 31-year-old has 872 receptions for 10,781 yards and 95 touchdowns.
Davante Adams Could Push Rams Over The Top
The Rams already have a nice offensive nucleus in Stafford, Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and Kyren Williams. Their defense has a great mix of young and veteran talent, namely Kobie Turner, Byron Young, Kamren Curl and rookie Jared Verse.
But adding an all-world offensive playmaker like Adams could be the move that gets LA over the top in the NFC. They won the Super Bowl with Kupp as their WR1, yet adding Adams would make the former the No. 3 receiver.
That would unquestionably put the Rams on par with the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions as an NFC heavyweight and team to beat.
Green Bay Packers Star Is Actively Recruiting Davante Adams To Rejoin The Team, And It Might Be Working

The Green Bay Packers have to feel good going into the 2024 season, and one current player would love for Davante Adams to feel the same way.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ All-Pro wide receiver, Davante Adams, missed out on the playoffs for a second straight season.
Making things worse is the Las Vegas Raiders losing their starting running back this offseason when Josh Jacobs signed with the Green Bay Packers in free agency — and it appears he at least floated the idea of Davante Adams returning to his old team.
Jacobs claimed that after signing with the veteran wide receiver’s last team, he texted Adams to inquire if he was considering returning during Wednesday’s Packers OTAs.
“When I came out here … I sent him the little eyes emoji,” Jacobs said. “I said, ‘You thinking about coming back?’ But man, he loved it.”
Prior to the 2022 season, Adams was moved to the Raiders after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Packers. However, he is not as consistent as he was in Green Bay, where he was a part of one of the greatest tandems in team history with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is currently with the New York Jets. The six-time Pro Bowler finished with over 1,000 receiving yards in both of his seasons in Las Vegas.

If Davante Adams wanted to leave Sin City, it wouldn’t be easy for him to do so because he has two more non-guaranteed years left on his deal and is scheduled to make $25.3 million in the 2024 season.
In an interview with Raiders teammate Maxx Crosby last month on The Rush with Maxx Crosby, Adams stated that even if his “career went to s–t” after leaving Green Bay, he will “never regret anything” (the interview begins at the 1:50 mark).
Davante Adams Praises Packers Quarterback Jordan Love

Adams has made it quite clear that he’s going to stay on the Raiders and doesn’t want to be dealt.
He did, however, express his admiration for Packers quarterback Jordan Love while also saying he had no regrets about leaving the team.
“At the time when I was (in Green Bay), I hadn’t necessarily seen enough to say this is for sure what I should do,” Adams said of his decision to leave via NFL.com. “But in hindsight, like we talked about, (Love) is a f—— baller, man. I’m so happy for him.
“I haven’t really had a chance to truly sit down and talk with him, but I want to tell him at some point like, ‘I definitely don’t regret changing [teams], but I’m super proud of what you’ve done. If there’s a way I could pull you over here [to Las Vegas] and drag you with me like that, that would’ve been cool, too.’
“Obviously, we saw what he did at the end of the year. I don’t regret what I did, but, at the same time, it’s definitely you look back on it like, ‘damn, that boy kind of balling right now.’”
