Davante Adams’ agents deny trade talks are happening as Jets rumors swirl
NY Post
A reunion between Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams may not be on the horizon after all.
While a number of football broadcasters have implied or speculated that the Raiders would be trading Adams — possibly to the Jets — his agents deny that this is the case.
“This is baseless, unfounded speculation and Davante is expected to be with the Raiders as there has been absolutely no trade talk – period,” Adams’ agents Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer told ESPN’s Adam Schefter in a statement on Tuesday.
Adams is entering his third season with the Raiders after playing the first eight years of his NFL career with Rodgers in Green Bay.
He has been one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL for the last six years, but there were times last year where his frustration clearly bubbled over, such as when he shoved a cameraman to the ground in Kansas City after the Raiders lost to the Chiefs.
The ball got rolling last week when Rodgers said he “can’t wait” to play with Adams again, making people question if the quarterback might know something the general public doesn’t.
