The New York Jets are exploring options to deal or release wide receiver Davante Adams due to concerns over his $38.25 million salary cap hit in 2025. If they fail to secure a trade, the team is expected to cut ties with the six-time Pro Bowler.
Adams, who played with quarterback Aaron Rodgers at Green Bay and had a brief stint with the Jets, has been struggling to recapture his form since joining the team. Despite scoring seven touchdowns in 11 games last season, he has not made the Pro Bowl since 2022.
The Jets’ decision may be influenced by Adams’ salary cap implications, as releasing him would save them $29.877 million. However, it’s unclear whether any team will take on his massive contract, and Adams could potentially rejoin Rodgers on a third team in the future.
