Davante Adams is leaving Las Vegas and teaming up with an old friend once again.
The Raiders reportedly are trading the three-time All-Pro wide receiver to the New York Jets, reuniting him with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The Jets are sending a conditional third-round pick to the Raiders to complete the deal, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reported. The pick reportedly could become a second-round pick based on performance.
It’s a conditional 3rd rounder going to the #Raiders that can become a 2nd rounder based on performance.

Adams arrived in Las Vegas in 2022 after spending his first eight NFL seasons with Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. He made the Pro Bowl in his first season with the Raiders and had his fifth career 100-catch, 1,000-yard season in 2023.
The 31-year-old wideout has 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown so far in 2024. He missed the team’s last three games with a hamstring injury.
Following the Week 4 victory, reports came out that Adams “preferred” to be traded out of Las Vegas. He told FanDuel’s Kay Adams on Oct. 1 that he had not heard from Antonio Pierce after the Raiders head coach appeared to like a social media post suggesting the team trade him.
The Jets and Saints were high on Adams’ list of potential landing spots, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Oct. 2. A trade to New Orleans would have reunited Adams with former Fresno State and Raiders teammate Derek Carr.
This is a developing story.
