A reunion between Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams is probably not on the horizon in any case.
Whereas a lot of soccer broadcasters have implied or speculated that the Raiders can be buying and selling Adams — presumably to the Jets — his brokers deny that that is the case.
“That is baseless, unfounded hypothesis and Davante is predicted to be with the Raiders as there was completely no commerce discuss – interval,” Adams’ brokers Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer advised ESPN’s Adam Schefter in an announcement on Tuesday.
Adams is coming into his third season with the Raiders after enjoying the primary eight years of his NFL profession with Rodgers in Inexperienced Bay.
He has been probably the most productive extensive receivers within the NFL for the final six years, however there have been instances final 12 months the place his frustration clearly bubbled over, comparable to when he shoved a cameraman to the bottom in Kansas Metropolis after the Raiders misplaced to the Chiefs.
The ball acquired rolling final week when Rodgers stated he “can’t wait” to play with Adams once more, making folks query if the quarterback would possibly know one thing most people doesn’t.
Talking on “Boomer & Gio” on WFAN on Monday, former Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason prognosticated that Adams can be on his method out of city this summer season.
“I’m listening to — that that is going to occur, if it does occur — someplace in late August, early September,” Esiason stated. “I’m unsure about why it might take that lengthy.”
Esiason didn’t consider Adams would demand a commerce, however that one would nonetheless occur.
“Davante isn’t going to return out publicly and say, ‘I need to go away the Raiders,’” Esiason stated. “However you do hear on this extensive receiver program [“Receiver” on Netflix], the place he does this, ‘I acquired to get out of right here earlier than I get killed.’ He says that. That leads the viewer to consider that he needs out of Vegas.
“However I don’t see him saying that publicly. I don’t see him going to the media and saying, ‘Get me out of right here.’ I can see him saying to his agent, very similar to he did to Inexperienced Bay, the identical sort of factor.’”
Then, on Tuesday, ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky appeared on “Get Up” and stated that he’d heard Adams to the Jets was a “performed deal”.
“I believe Davante Adams performs for the Jets this season,” Orlovsky stated. “The explanation why I say that’s this: Have you ever watched Netflix, the ‘Receiver’ stuff, have you ever seen the frustration from Davante Adams? It’s not that a lot better of a scenario (now.) The one purpose it wouldn’t occur is that if he would really feel dangerous about leaving Antonio Pierce, their new head coach.”
