Davante Adams' trade wish list includes reunions with two quarterbacks: report

Davante Adams' trade wish list includes reunions with two quarterbacks: report

Davante Adams has requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders and there is reportedly a wish list for new teams that includes two quarterbacks he has had success with in the past.

The New York Jets and New Orleans Saints are two teams on his wish list, and that only makes sense given his relationships with Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr, respectively, ESPN reported Wednesday.

The 31-year-old receiver was rumored to have been traded last season as the Raiders struggled under former head coach Josh McDaniels, and the Jets were on the roster at the time while Rodgers, his former quarterback with the Green Bay Packers, was on the roster stood.

Now Rodgers was no longer available for the Jets after a torn Achilles tendon, but he was strong for “Gang Green” this season and the Jets could use a little more firepower on offense.

Last year, during a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Rodgers was also heard saying, “I love Davante Adams. I can’t wait to play with him again.”

Meanwhile, Carr, who was with the Raiders in Adams' first season with the team, is playing well after a shaky first season in New Orleans. Adams had Las Vegas as a preferred destination when he was traded from Green Bay before the 2022 season because Carr, his quarterback from Fresno State, was there.

While the Raiders resisted real trade talks with Adams last season, they reportedly told teams they would “consider” Adams if a second-round pick was included in a package, as well as additional compensation, according to ESPN.

And that came after Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce was seen liking an Instagram post that suggested Adams had played his final game against Las Vegas.

“I haven't heard from him. I haven’t spoken to him,” Adams said on “Up & Adams” with Kay Adams when asked if he had heard from Pierce. “…Social media is a beast, so a lot of people out there saw it and wondered what was going on and reached out.”

But the Jets and Saints aren't the only teams that could be vying for Adams' services. The Dallas Cowboys could use another weapon on the outside for quarterback Dak Prescott. And although they desperately need a receiver after Rashee Rice's injury, the Kansas City Chiefs are unlikely to be an option for Adams since they play in the same division.

Adams was unavailable for the Raiders' win over the Cleveland Browns last Sunday as he is expected to be dealing with a week-to-week hamstring injury.
