FanDuel TV’s Kay Adams had an exclusive interview with New York Jets receiver Davante Adams on Friday, which might be of particular interest to Green Bay Packers fans. The Packers and Adams, obviously, have a history, as Adams reached second all-time on Green Bay’s receptions and receiving touchdowns leaderboards before being traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in the offseason of 2022.
Since leaving the Packers, though, Adams’ career hasn’t panned out quite like he probably had hoped. The Raiders struggled, despite Adams still playing at a high level, and he was eventually traded to the New York Jets last season to reunite him with another former Green Bay star, Aaron Rodgers. After finishing 5-12 on the year, it’s clear the Jets’ experiment did not work, though.
Now, Adams will command a $35.6 million base salary in 2025, a number New York is unlikely to pay. It wouldn’t be a shock to see Adams become a cap casualty, which would allow him to hit free agency for the first time in his career.
With that in mind, Kay Adams asked Davante Adams whether or not he would consider returning to a team that he previously played for, particularly one that rhymed with “smackers” and was in the playoffs this weekend.
The receiver responded, “You know, you can’t rule anything out. I’ve got a lot of love for all the organizations I’ve played for, so I wouldn’t rule out anybody. I mean that.” Adams added, “The Packers are a great team, and if they felt like that was a possibility for me,” before stopping himself and noting, “and like I said I’m still with the Jets so I can’t be talking about going to other teams.”
Would Davante Adams RETURN to a team he's already played for??? 👀🤔🔊@heykayadams @tae15adams @packers @nyjets @Raiders pic.twitter.com/eYPJyY6Ql8

At least one side of this seems warm to the idea of a potential reunion. If Adams hits the free agent market, the ball will be in Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst’s court.
