Davante Adams spent eight seasons catching passes from Aaron Rodgers. In that span, we saw Adams make two All-Pro teams while becoming a five-time Pro Bowl player. They also reached the playoffs six times together.

But just because Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders, it doesn’t mean the bond between the two talented playmakers ended. In fact, the struggles they’ve both experienced since could help the two players realize how good their time together with the Green Bay Packers was.
Adams is on the Raiders, who don’t have a franchise QB, and Rodgers, on the Jets, has a lack of weapons. Could the two players team back up, this time in the Big Apple?
Aaron Rodgers may want Davante Adams, but Las Vegas Raiders aren’t ready to trade him
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Aaron Rodgers has been doing his best to recruit Davante Adams to the New York Jets, which would require a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders.
Yet, the Raiders, who are coming off a disappointing season and are hoping for a quick turnaround under Antonio Pierce, aren’t expected to have interest in trading one of their best players.

If Rodgers wants to team up with Adams again, he might have to hope the Raiders get off to a tough start, which could lead to a change of heart by the trade deadline. Otherwise, Adams won’t hit free agency until the end of the 2026 season, at which point Rodgers will be 44 years old.
