And holding a $38 million cap hit for a player past his prime, it seems like the semi-rebuilding Jets will be more than willing to accommodate his wishes.<\/p>\n<h2>What Would An Adams \u2013 Packers Reunion Look Like?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.profootballrumors.com\/files\/2021\/11\/USATSI_17208294-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Davante Adams Open To Packers Reunion?\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Jets save $30 million by cutting Adams, which at this point him feels like an almost foregone conclusion \u2013 particularly with Rodgers off the table.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple Packers players have already publicly stated their desire to have \u201cTae\u201d Adams re-join them in Green Bay, including both cornerback, Keisean Nixon, and franchise quarterback, Jordan Love.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the first time that there has been a public affection between Love and Adams, with the latter trying to recruit the young QB to Las Vegas last offseason.<\/p>\n<p>There is a feeling, both amongst the players and the fans, that the Packers need a bona fide #1 receiver to lead the passing offense, particularly given the up-in-the-air nature of Christian Watson\u2019s gruesome late season knee injury last month.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers have not had a 1000 yard receiver in the two years since Adams\u2019 departure \u2013 with Jayden Reed coming closest both years with 793 and 857 yards respectively.<\/p>\n<p>And, in this day and age, no team can expect to truly contend for the Lombardi Trophy without an elite pass-catcher; even Mahomes\u2019 mediocre receiving corps had Travis Kelce return to elite form during their 2022 and 2023 Super Bowl-winning years.<\/p>\n<p>A still-productive wideout like Adams could certainly add some needed juice to the Packers\u2019 passing game, and perhaps it can help Green Bay finally get over seemingly continuous \u201c1 receiver away\u201d hump.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Davante Adams is not your prototypical \u201cdiva\u201d wide receiver, but he certainly is no stranger to working to get what he wants.
