Davante Adams’ Struggles Could Lead to Offseason Move, Ravens and Chargers Eyeing 2025
The New York Jets’ 2024 season is slipping away, and with it, the future of star wide receiver Davante Adams in doubt. Despite hopes of reuniting with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and reigniting their successful chemistry from Green Bay, Adams has struggled to make an impact with his new team. A crucial dropped touchdown in a loss to the Arizona Cardinals has left fans frustrated and added to the mounting disappointment around the Jets’ season.
Adams’ move to New York was supposed to signal a fresh start, but now, with the Jets’ playoff hopes effectively dashed at 3-7, his production has significantly dwindled. With only 18 receptions for 209 yards and one touchdown, his performance has failed to live up to expectations. As Rodgers continues to age, the Jets may find themselves at a crossroads, especially if Adams’ struggles persist. This could lead the team to explore trade options or even consider releasing him if he requests a move.
If Adams does request a trade, the Ravens and Chargers may emerge as potential suitors. Both teams could be in the market for a top-tier receiver, especially if their playoff aspirations fall short this season.
Ravens’ Super Bowl Pursuit Could Lead to Adams Signing
The Baltimore Ravens have assembled one of the most talented rosters in the league, bolstering their offense with Derrick Henry and trading for Diontae Johnson. However, their defense has been a weak point, and their receiving corps still lacks a true superstar beyond Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Despite adding Johnson, the Ravens appear to be focused on keeping Flowers and Bateman as their top receivers, meaning they might look to add another big-name receiver in the offseason to elevate their offense to “super team” status. If the Ravens fall short in the playoffs, signing Davante Adams could become a priority as they aim to shore up their receiving depth.
Chargers’ Passing Game Struggles Could Lead to Adams Trade
For the Los Angeles Chargers, the dream of a Super Bowl under head coach Jim Harbaugh seems distant, with the team sitting at 6-3 but facing significant issues in their passing game. Despite opportunities to add talent to help their receiving corps, the Chargers have continued to rely heavily on the run game. Justin Herbert, a franchise quarterback who thrives with the ball in the air, may find himself on the outside looking in come playoff time if this philosophy doesn’t change.
Davante Adams
The Chargers need another proven pass-catching weapon to complement Joshua Palmer and rookie Ladd McConkey, both of whom have shown flashes but lack the consistency to take the offense to the next level. Davante Adams could be the answer. Adding him to an offense that already features Herbert’s arm talent could give the Chargers a legitimate chance to make a deep postseason run, especially if other teams in the AFC falter.
As Adams’ future with the Jets becomes uncertain, both the Ravens and Chargers are teams to watch in 2025, as they may look to add him to their rosters if their Super Bowl ambitions fall short this season.
