NFL Rumors: 3 Landing Spots For Davante Adams After Trade Request

Following Davante Adams' trade request from the Las Vegas Raiders, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report highlighted three potential landing spots with mock trade proposals. 

The New Orleans Saints stand out as a prime destination, where Adams could reunite with his former quarterback Derek Carr. 

Knox suggests the Saints could offer a conditional 2025 second-round pick, which could escalate to a first based on Adams' performance and the team’s postseason success. 

However, given New Orleans' tight cap space, a contract restructure would be necessary to make the deal feasible. Adding Adams would strengthen a talented receiving corps alongside Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, positioning the Saints for a stronger playoff push.

The Dallas Cowboys also emerge as a strong contender, offering Adams a reunion with head coach Mike McCarthy, who coached him in Green Bay. 

Knox proposes a trade package involving a conditional 2025 second-round pick, which could convert to a first if Dallas reaches the NFC Championship Game, along with backup quarterback Trey Lance. 

For Dallas, this move would provide Dak Prescott with a dynamic receiving duo alongside CeeDee Lamb, while the Raiders could take a flyer on Lance as a potential future quarterback option, addressing their need for long-term stability under center.

Lastly, the New York Jets present a compelling option due to Adams' past success with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

Knox suggests a creative deal in which the Jets send pass-rusher Haason Reddick, who is seeking a new contract, along with a conditional 2025 third-round pick that could escalate to a second-rounder. 

For the Raiders, Reddick would add significant firepower to their defense, complementing Maxx Crosby, while Adams would provide Rodgers with a familiar and elite weapon to bolster the Jets’ offense in their quest for a deep playoff run.
