Davante Adams Eyes West Coast Move from Jets

Davante Adams, a Pro Bowl wide receiver currently with the New York Jets, is considering a potential move to a West Coast team if released by the Jets due to his significant cap hit of $38.3 million in 2025. Adams, who has expressed interest in joining teams like the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Chargers, or Los Angeles Rams, grew up in Northern California, which contributes to his intrigue about returning to the region. The Jets would save approximately $30 million against their cap by releasing him before June 1. The Rams, who are reportedly looking to trade Cooper Kupp, could be a strong contender, as could the Chargers, who are looking to bolster their receiving corps. Adams remains a top talent in the NFL, having amassed over 1,000 yards in multiple seasons, and his addition could significantly enhance the receiving options for these West Coast teams. The 49ers, with considerable investment in receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, might also pursue Adams to strengthen their roster.
