With free agency starting soon, NFL teams are introducing changes to their rosters. Recent reports say that the New York Jets have decided to move on from Davante Adams, which surprised many fans since they are releasing him just before free agency begins.
Davante Adams, a top wide receiver and six-time Pro Bowler, was traded to the New York Jets from the Las Vegas Raiders in October 2024.
The Jets hoped that Adams teaming up with quarterback Aaron Rodgers would help the team. However, the plan didn’t work, and the Jets finished the season with a 5-12 record.

Reports say the Jets will release Adams before free agency starts next week, even though other teams showed interest in trading for him. This wasn’t a big surprise since the Jets were likely to move on from him after deciding to part ways with Rodgers.
Adams’ large $38.34 million cap hit for 2025 made it hard for the Jets to keep him. By releasing Adams, the Jets will save almost $30 million in cap space, which will help them focus on improving their team.
Possible landing spots for Davante Adams in free agency
The New York Jets are set to move on from star wide receiver Davante Adams, and fans are wondering where he will go next. Since quarterback Aaron Rodgers is also leaving, Adams’ exit seems likely. One possible landing spot is the Buffalo Bills, especially if a trade doesn’t work out.

If he joins the Bills, he could make their strong offense even better by teaming up with star quarterback Josh Allen. Adams is a top player, and many teams would love to have him, even though the Bills have to manage their budget.
But he has three teams in his choice already: Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, or San Francisco 49ers. So, the plate on the chest can turn anytime.
