Well, that escalated quickly.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers just upped the buzz about Davante Adams joining him in the AFC East. The Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver has made six Pro Bowl appearances and been named an All-Pro three times.
This week, Rodgers played in a golf tournament in Nevada. He was asked about Vegas Sports Today about how Raiders offensive coordinator Luke Getsy will impact Adams this season.
In 2023, Davante Adams had 103 receptions for 1,144 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
Adams played the first eight years in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers, all with Rodgers. Rodgers praised the impact of Getsy, then dropped an unsolicited statement about Adams joining him with the Jets.
“I love Luke Getsy, he’s a fantastic coach,” Rodgers told Vegas Sports Today.
“I love Davante, can’t wait to play with him – again.”
We heard that, right? Rodgers wants to play with Adams again. Was that a subtle nudge to the Jets to get the job done?
“I love Davante Adams, I can’t wait to play with him…again.”

That will certainly up the buzz about the Jets making a trade for Adams.
