Davante Adams ignites speculation about potential Packers reunion following disappointing Jets move

New York Jets veteran receiver Davante Adams has sparked rumors of a potential reunion with the Green Bay Packers after discussing his former team’s needs for the 2025 season.

The Packers exited the playoffs early with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, despite being the youngest roster in the league for the second consecutive year. Throughout the season, Green Bay struggled against top-tier teams, losing six games to teams with records of 11-6 or better.

Much of the speculation revolved around the team’s young receiving corps, and Adams believes that should be a priority for the Packers in the offseason.

“I think it depends on the team’s health,” he stated during an interview on the “Up & Adams” show.

“It looks like they might need some receiver help based on their current situation. Maybe a veteran presence could help. We’ll see,” Adams added.

Adams’ remarks on social media triggered speculation that he might be referring to himself, especially considering his performance this past season in New York alongside former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

The Jets extended their historic playoff drought after ending the season 5-12. The team is undergoing significant changes, including the search for a new head coach and general manager.

There is also uncertainty surrounding Rodgers’ return.

The duo played together for eight seasons in Green Bay, and Rodgers’ decision will undoubtedly impact Adams’ future.

Adams described the season as a “whirlwind” and expressed uncertainty about his next steps. He is set to earn $35.64 million annually for the next two years.
