Mandatory Credit: Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images Bourbon Street and the Big Apple are the places Davante Adams prefers to land if the Las Vegas Raiders decide to trade their star receiver, ESPN reported Wednesday.
The New Orleans Saints and the New York Jets — both featurinig familiar quarterbacks — reportedly top the wish list if the Raiders choose to make a deal.
Saints signal-caller Derek Carr was Adams’ teammate at Fresno State and with the Raiders in 2022. The Jets’ Aaron Rodgers threw passes to the six-time Pro Bowler for eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers from 2014-21.
Other teams with reported interest in Adams, 31, include the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers. Kansas City is not interested despite the injury to Rashee Rice, according to ESPN.
Adams missed Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury as the Raiders (2-2) defeated the Cleveland Browns, 20-16.
Through the first three games this season, he caught 18 of 27 targets for 209 yards and one touchdown.
Adams exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons with the Raiders: 1,516 yards and a league-high 14 touchdowns in 2022 and 1,144 yards and eight TDs in 2023.
Adams is under contract through the 2026 season.
The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 5. Las Vegas has reportedly informed other teams that any trade offer must include a second-round draft pick and additional compensation, per ESPN.
