The Davante Adams age in Las Vegas seems nearing its end after an NFL Network report emerged Tuesday mentioning that the three-time first-team All-Pro informed the Raiders that he chooses to be traded.
Naturally, groups need to be interested, and the Cleveland Browns might effectively remain in the mix.
On Tuesday night, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com and the Cleveland Plain Dealer specified that “the Browns will likely ask about Raiders receiver Davante Adams now that he's asked for a trade.”
That news comes amidst speculation that Browns pass receiver Amari Cooper might be provided with Cleveland having a hard time at 1-3 and appearing not likely to install a severe push for the playoffs. Particularly, ESPN's Adam Schefter highlighted Cooper as a possible trade target for the Kansas City Chiefs (h/t Awful Announcing's Ben Axelrod).
Eventually, the Browns do not look like the most likely location for Adams, provided the group's record, its 2024 potential customers and the cash owed to him. Cabot composed the following:
“Would it make good sense for the Browns to get Adams? They're 1-3 and will miss out on the playoffs if they do not turn it around rapidly. As it stands, they most likely require to go 9-4 the remainder of the method for a genuine shot. Would Adams suffice to get them back on track? He's owed $13.5 countless his $17.5 million income and perks this season, and is under agreement at $35.6 million next year and $36.6 million in 2026, however without any ensured cash in those 2 last years. The Browns would need to re-do the agreement, and it would cost a substantial amount, with Minnesota's Justin Jefferson topping the marketplace at $35 million a year.”
Adams is presently out with a hamstring injury that's being called a “week-to-week” condition. It's imaginable that he's played his last down with the Raiders as the Nov. 5 trade due date sits 5 weeks away. Groups are currently signing in on him, per NFL expert Jordan Schultz.

There are some apparent suitable for Adams on the surface area.
The New York Jets would mark a reunion with his ex-teammate in Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers. The 2 succeeded in Green Bay and might quickly reignite that in New York, which has actually had a hard time on offense through 4 video games (21st in scoring).
The Pittsburgh Steelers, who were deep into talks with the San Francisco 49ers to trade for wideout Brandon Aiyuk before they broke down, might be another alternative. Pittsburgh is off to a 3-1 start and might utilize another wideout opposite George Pickens to develop a strong one-two punch there.
