Davante Adams’ agents deny trade talks are happening as Jets rumors swirl

A reunion between Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams may not be on the horizon after all.
While a number of football broadcasters have implied or speculated that the Raiders would be trading Adams — possibly to the Jets — his agents deny that this is the case.
“This is baseless, unfounded speculation and Davante is expected to be with the Raiders as there has been absolutely no trade talk – period,” Adams’ agents Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer told ESPN’s Adam Schefter in a statement on Tuesday .
Adams is entering his third season with the Raiders after playing the first eight years of his NFL career with Rodgers in Green Bay.
He has been one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL for the last six years, but there were times last year where his frustration clearly bubbled over, such as when he shoved a cameraman to the ground in Kansas City after the Raiders lost to the Chiefs.
The ball got rolling last week when Rodgers said he “can’t wait” to play with Adams again, making people question if the quarterback might know something the general public doesn’t.
“I’m hearing — that this is going to happen, if it does happen — somewhere in late August, early September,” Esiason said. “I’m not sure about why it would take that long.”

Esiason didn’t believe Adams would demand a trade, but that one would nonetheless happen.
“Davante is never going to come out publicly and say, ‘I want to leave the Raiders,’” Esiason said. “But you do hear in this wide receiver program [“Receiver” on Netflix], where he does this, ‘I got to get out of here before I get killed.’ He says that. That leads the viewer to believe that he wants out of Vegas.
“But I don’t see him saying that publicly. I don’t see him going to the media and saying, ‘Get me out of here.’ I can see him saying to his agent, much like he did to Green Bay, the same type of thing.’”
“I think Davante Adams plays for the Jets this season,” Orlovsky said. “The reason why I say that is this: Have you watched Netflix, the ‘Receiver’ stuff, have you seen the frustration from Davante Adams? It’s not that much better of a situation (now.) The only reason it wouldn’t happen is if he would feel bad about leaving Antonio Pierce, their new head coach.”
