Davante Adams being traded is no news. While fans are playing the guess which team game, Adams himself is secretly praying to get shipped off to the Big Apple. So, which team will he hop into and what’s his Jets’ and Aaron Rodgers’ connection?
Well, if the WR has his way, we might see him flaunting a New York Jets jersey alongside his friend, A-Rod. Reportedly, the Raiders star made it clear on Monday that he would love to be traded to New York. However, he is not putting pressure on the team.
While it seems he’s taking a more laid-back approach to the whole trade situation, he doesn’t have the power to dictate exactly where he wants to go. And even NFL analysts have joined the conversation. Fox NFL Insider Jordan Schultz stated on the Herd, “I think the Raiders will try to get him to a place he would like to go, but they don’t have to be, you know, a victim to his demands.” And that’s not all!

Rodgers and Adams have been good friends since 2014. While the QB and WR played together for the Packers for 7 years, they had a great bond and chemistry. And while the Jets’ offense is already struggling, Adams could surely be a sigh of relief for A-Rod and his team! However, NFL Insider raises concerns about the relationship between Saleh and the MVP.

With teams like the Jets, it might be a short-term opportunity for Davante Adams, especially considering Aaron Rodgers’ age. And his relationship with HC Robert Saleh is quite confusing as well. However, A-Rod has denied all the “fractured relationship” rumors. He stated on Tuesday, “Rob and I have a great relationship; we have since day one when I got here.”
The quarterback also mentioned that the two are good friends. And that’s not all! They keep texting each other and have a lot of conversations about anything and everything. However, A-Rod and Saleh’s relationship has been the talk of the town for a while now! From Rodgers missing training camps to the QB and HC not talking on the gridiron, everyone has questioned what’s going on behind the scenes.
And after the Jets racked up five false-start penalties in the Week 4 game, Saleh also raised an eyebrow. The Super Bowl-winning coach hinted that they might need to take a closer look at how effective Rodgers’ intricate cadence is. But the next day, he backpedaled, assuring everyone that they don’t plan to change a thing about Rodgers’ offense.
