Davante Adams contract

Adams signed a five-year, $140 million contract extension with the Raiders on the same day he arrived from Green Bay.

On Tuesday, the same day as his trade to New York, he restructured his contract to help the Jets save almost $8.5 million in cap space. The two sides added two void years to his deal and converted $10.45 million of his 2024 salary into signing bonus money.
