Recent activity on Davante Adams’ Instagram suggests that the All-Pro wide receiver may be inclined to return to where his NFL journey began.
Adams, now a standout player for the Las Vegas Raiders, shared a post on his Instagram page regarding former teammate Josh Jacobs’ signing with the Green Bay Packers. In his post, Adams praised his former team for the move, sparking speculation that he may harbor a desire to return to Green Bay.
The Raiders faced a setback when they lost the 2022 rushing champion to the Packers, who secured Jacobs with a substantial four-year contract valued at $48 million. Despite the length of the deal, its structure essentially amounts to a one-year contract with a series of one-year options.

Two years ago, the Packers traded Adams to the Raiders in exchange for 2022 first and second-round draft picks. Subsequently, Adams inked a record-breaking five-year extension worth $140 million, making him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history.
Adams initially sought to reunite with his former Fresno State teammate and quarterback, Derek Carr, upon joining the Raiders. However, Carr was released by the Raiders following the 2022 season. With Las Vegas enduring consecutive losing seasons, speculation has mounted regarding Adams’ potential desire for a trade.
Since Adams’ departure, the Packers’ offense has experienced a void. Although Jordan Love emerged as a promising franchise quarterback in 2023, it is evident that he could benefit from the presence of a proven Pro Bowl-caliber wide receiver to elevate his performance.
At 31 years old, Adams represents an ideal solution for the Packers’ offensive needs. However, it remains uncertain whether the team would be willing to absorb his substantial contract. Conversely, the Raiders’ stance on trading Adams remains ambiguous.
