GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2013 The Green Bay Packers are heavy betting favorites to sign former All-Pro receiver Davante Adams.<\/p>\n

At DraftKings Sportsbook on Wednesday morning, the Packers were +190 to reunite with Adams. By implied probability, that\u2019s 34.48 percent. NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport said the native of East Palo Alto, Calif., might want to return West. The next three teams in the odds? The Los Angeles Chargers were +500 (16.67 percent), the San Francisco 49ers were +650 (13.33 percent) and the Los Angeles Rams were +750 (11.76 percent).<\/p>\n

The odds are fluid. DraftKings posted its initial odds Tuesday night. The Packers opened at +165 to land Adams \u2013 an implied probability of 37.74 percent \u2013 with the Chargers and 49ers at +550 and Rams at +750.<\/p>\n

Davante Adams Next-Team Odds<\/h3>\n

Green Bay Packers: +190<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Chargers: +500<\/p>\n

San Francisco 49ers: +650<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Rams: +750<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Steelers: +950<\/p>\n

Denver Broncos, New England Patriots: +1000<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants: +1200.<\/p>\n

Houston Texans: +1400<\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens: +1600<\/p>\n

Detroit Lions, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Commanders: +2800<\/p>\n

Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans: +3000<\/p>\n

Chicago Bears, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: +5000<\/p>\n

Indianapolis Colts: +6000<\/p>\n

Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles: +7500<\/p>\n

Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints: +10000<\/p>\n

In a season split between the Raiders and Jets \u2013 they combined to win nine games \u2013 Adams caught 85 passes for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns. It was his fifth consecutive season of 1,000 yards as he moved to fourth among active players with 957 receptions, fifth with 11,833 yards and third with 103 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

With the Jets, Adams caught 8-of-18 contested catches, averaged a career-best 6.3 yards after the catch per catch and caught 7-of-16 passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield, according to Pro Football Focus. On the other hand, his drop rate was 10.6 percent \u2013 second-worst of his career.<\/p>\n

Coming off a 13-4 season but a one-and-done playoffs, the Packers on March 17, 2022, traded Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for first- and second-round draft picks.<\/p>\n

Without a stud receiver, the Packers haven\u2019t quite recovered. They went 8-9 in 2022, 9-8 in 2023 and 11-6 in 2024. That\u2019s 28 regular-season wins in three seasons compared to 39 in Adams\u2019 final three seasons.<\/p>\n

In 11 games with Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, Adams caught 67 passes for 854 yards and seven touchdowns. Extrapolated over 17 games, that\u2019s 104 receptions for 1,320 yards and 10.8 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an elite player,\u201d a source said on Tuesday night after the Jets released Adams. \u201cTwo (bad) teams, 14 games and still over a thousand yards.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the young receivers failed to take a step forward in 2024, paired with Romeo Doubs\u2019 two concussions and Christian Watson\u2019s torn ACL, the Packers have a significant need at receiver. The question is whether general manager Brian Gutekunst will take a swing at a proven veteran, if he\u2019ll add more young talent through the draft or if he\u2019ll do both.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole talk about needing a veteran, I\u2019m hoping these guys continue to grow into veterans \u2013 and most of them are,\u201d Gutekunst said at the Scouting Combine. \u201cThe amount of games they have under their belt, not only regular-season games but playoff games, as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, experience matters, but our guys, even though they may be young in age have a lot of experience, and I want these guys to continue to grow together. Like I stated at the end of the season, I think we all have to understand that level of urgency we all need to get to where we want to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

That \u201csense of urgency\u201d line would suggest Gutekunst will more than kick the tires on a veteran, whether it\u2019s Adams as a street free agent, DK Metcalf via a trade or one of the so-so veterans in free agency.<\/p>\n
