Is Davante Adams going to play for the Jets in 2025? Well, this is a major doubt because the answer is in the hands of the WR himself. For those who missed it, Adams came to the Jets solely to play alongside his friend Aaron Rodgers. And he was aware that the team’s quarterback position would be questionable in the coming year. This is why the WR has already discussed this with the team and confirmed that his situation will be unknown in 2024 and 2025.
Davante Adams is currently on the track he had previously intended. His future situation will be determined by Aaron Rodgers. If he retires or the team does not keep him, the WR will then request his release since the Jets also do not want an older wide receiver making $35.64 million per season.
According to an NFL insider, the Jets have already found a backup great wide receiver to Davante Adams: Irvin Charles. The team has already signed the 27-year-old wide receiver, and everyone has seen how outstanding he is. Special teams coordinator Brant Boyer has even appreciated him after week 13. Boyer claimed, “Irv’s had a monster year. If you can find me a better special teamer in this league, I’d like to see it.”

While the Jets would like to have the duo of Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams. A potential duo of Wilson and Charles can be magical on the field. But the problem for the next year’s squad is not finished in the Jets. Davante Adams leaving will mean that Aaron Rodgers has already left. And this means that even if the team has a backup WR, they need a big starter QB for them too.
While all these confusing things are going on, there is a chance that Davante Adams can also change his mind and stay in the team even without Aaron Rodgers.

Davante Adams hints he could be with the Jets in 2025
The NFL is full of twists and turns, and this case is no exception. During an interview on Wednesday of week 14, the WR hinted at a potential turn in the future. The 31-year-old stated, “I would love to be a part of this football team. … I’d love to go to war with these guys, but it’s a business and there are a lot of pieces, contractually, and, obviously, with Aaron’s future — a lot of things that I can’t control.”
Well, overlooking everything, it is safe to say that if the WR will stay with the Jets in 2025, then a new contract is going to be in place. Davante Adams’ managers already made sure that the WR is not bonded for 2025 and 2026. And after the 2024 season, they will have a chat with the team about what the WR’s status will be.
