Davante Adams is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, but that hasn’t slowed down the swirling trade rumors surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders’ star wide receiver. While the injury has kept him out of action, it appears his time on the sidelines may be coming to an end soon.
Earlier this week, Adams made headlines by publicly requesting a trade, sparking widespread speculation about his future with the Raiders.
Before that, the three-time All-Pro wideout suffered a hamstring injury during practice, which forced him to miss the Raiders’ Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The injury is also expected to keep him out of their Week 5 clash against the Denver Broncos.
Despite the injury, interest in Adams from other teams has only grown, with several franchises reportedly circling the Raiders for a potential trade. While Adams’ hamstring issue may have initially raised concerns about his health, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has provided a more optimistic update. According to Rapoport, Adams is “nearing full health,” and there’s a strong possibility he could be ready to play as early as next week.

One of the teams most frequently mentioned in connection with Adams is the New York Jets, with many speculating that the wide receiver might seek a reunion with his former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
The two shared tremendous success together during their time with the Green Bay Packers, and Adams could provide the Jets with the offensive boost they need. However, reports also suggest that another AFC team is being “aggressive” in their pursuit of Adams, adding more intrigue to the situation.
Adams has remained productive this season, despite his limited availability. In the three games he has played, he’s recorded 18 receptions for 209 yards and one touchdown. His impact on the field is undeniable, making him one of the hottest commodities as the trade deadline approaches.
As trade talks heat up and his injury recovery progresses, the coming days could determine whether Adams stays in Las Vegas or finds himself suiting up for a new team.
Either way, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see what the future holds for one of the NFL’s elite wide receivers.
