The reasoning behind the trade proposals and discussions between talking heads remains the same -- that Raiders are a middling team with no real solution under center, which has frustrated Adams .
In that context, Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report penned a "bold trade prediction" on Saturday, August 31, in which he projects the Raiders will make a deal to move Adams at some point ahead of the NFL's November 5 trade deadline.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams walks off the field after a game against the Green Bay Packers at Allegiant Stadium.
Minshew is 15-22 as a starter across his five-year professional tenure and has thrown for 59 TDs against 24 INTs over that span. Although Minshew has had some moments and was 7-6 with the Indianapolis Colts last season during a Pro Bowl campaign, it is reasonable to argue that Adams' frustrations are likely to continue -- even if only sporadically -- as Minshew assumes the reins of the offense.
If the Raiders decide to move Adams, whose $25.35 million salary cap hit in 2024 might be an unnecessary financial burden on a team that isn't ready to win at a meaningful level, the New York Jets make among the most sense as a destination.
Rodgers is the quarterback there and healthy after tearing his Achilles tendon in Week 1 of last season. He has just one year remaining on his contract, and the organization is bent on winning now.
Given the Jets' situation, as well as the long-term working relationship between Rodgers and Adams from their time with the Green Bay Packers , New York is perhaps the most logical suitor for the six-time Pro Bowl receiver.
