Davante Adams reacts to Aaron Rodgers speculation, addresses future with Jets

Davante Adams is opening up about his future with the New York Jets and Aaron Rodgers‘ plans for the 2025 season. While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the star wide receiver admitted he’s not sure what’s going to happen once the 2024 season ends.

“That’s a great question and I truly don’t have the answer to it right now. I would love to be a part of this football team,” Adams said. “I love these guys, I came in day one, I was welcomed. . . . It’s a business and there’s a lot of pieces contractually. Obviously with Aaron’s future and a lot of things I can’t control. Just gonna finish this year off strong. Hopefully, we do enough to where everybody’s feeling like it’s the right thing to do for us to stay here. After this year, we’ll assess and figure it out.”

The Jets added Adams to the roster in a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this season. The hope was Adams and Rodgers would be the same duo they were when they played for the Green Bay Packers, which would lead to wins. It has not worked out that way as the Jets are currently 3-9 on the year and Adams has caught 31 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns in six games in New York.

Adams has two years remaining on his current contract, but the team calls for a salary cap hit of more than $38 million each season. The Jets will have a new head coach and general manager next year, which could mean big changes to the roster, including deciding on Adams’ future.

Aaron Rodgers enjoys playing with ‘best friend’ Davante Adams

Rodgers and Adams played together in Green Bay from 2014 to 2021. On Wednesday, Rodgers talked about how much he enjoys playing with Adams again despite the team’s struggles.

“I mean that part sucks, but the fact I get to sit next to my best friend in the league every single day is the best,” Rodgers said, per the Jet’s official website. “He’s a fantastic guy. I hope that there’s guys that have watched him go about his business and seeing what it professionally is and taking some of that with them as they move forward in their careers. There’s a lot of people whose futures are uncertain, his just like mine, but hopefully there’s some things that we’ve done here, the way we practice, the way we communicate, the guys can take, because he’s a consummate professional.”
