Given what has transpired, because it seems Adams’ time with the Raiders could also be coming to an finish after simply over two seasons. The six-time Professional Bowler technically has three years remaining on his present contract (which he signed after being traded from the Packers to the Raiders in 2022), however there isn’t any extra assured cash left on the deal after this season. There may be additionally a possible out after this season, that means the Raiders may half with Adams subsequent offseason with out accruing a lot or any lifeless cap.

If the Raiders do commerce Adams, there is a good probability he’ll go to an excellent scenario as there are many groups that might use him to be able to recover from the proverbial hump. Let’s check out potential touchdown spots for Adams within the occasion the Raiders do commerce him earlier than the Nov. 5 deadline. 

George Pickens and Calvin Austin III are doing their finest, nevertheless it’s clear the Steelers want extra weapons at receiver. It is also no secret the Steelers tried to accumulate a confirmed veteran wideout this offseason, however to no avail. The fantastic thing about Adams is that he in all probability would not thoughts sharing the No. 1 duties with Pickens. Adams has by no means performed in a Super Bowl, and he would in all probability commerce some particular person glory for a greater shot at a hoop. 

Adams and Aaron Rodgers have not been shy about their need to affix forces once more, so the Jets are a no brainer as a attainable touchdown spot for Adams. Making the Jets a extra lifelike possibility is the truth that Rodgers may very well want Adams if Gang Inexperienced goes to stay as much as expectations. 

Rodgers and Garrett Wilson are nonetheless engaged on their chemistry, and Mike Williams hasn’t produced the way in which the Jets in all probability hoped he would. Adams’ addition would give Rodgers a safety blanket whereas opening issues up for Wilson and the remainder of New York’s talent gamers. 

Washington was within the working to land Brandon Aiyuk this offseason however wasn’t capable of. And given how properly Jayden Daniels has performed, it is conceivable that the Commanders would attempt to get Daniels much more assist in an effort to capitalize on his and their scorching begin. 

Daniels has already flourished with Terry McLaurin, Zach Ertz and Austin Ekeler serving as his main go catchers. One can solely think about how explosive Daniels and Co. shall be if Adams is introduced on board. 

Give third-year wideout Khalil Shakir credit score for stepping up as Buffalo’s No. 1 wideout following Stefon Diggs‘ departure. However nobody has crammed also-departed Gabe Davis‘ function as a strong No. 2 for Josh Allen, as rookie Keon Coleman remains to be getting adjusted to the professional recreation. Adams could be a must-needed addition to a Payments crew that also has Super Bowl aspirations. 

Would the Raiders truly commerce Adams to one in every of their archrivals? One would not suppose so, until the Chiefs make a proposal the Raiders merely cannot refuse, which should not be dominated out given Rashee Rice’s latest harm and Kansas Metropolis’s need to develop into the primary crew to efficiently three-peat. 

That being stated, it is nonetheless farfetched to suppose the Raiders would select to assist the Chiefs on their quest for historical past. Adams, although, would in all probability be a fantastic match taking part in alongside Patrick Mahomes and inside Andy Reid’s offense. 

Dallas has a star receiver in CeeDee Lamb, however Jalen Tolbert and Brandin Cooks haven’t carried their weight to date. Including Adams would unlock area for Lamb and a Cowboys working recreation that has been downright abysmal by means of 4 video games. 

The Cowboys in all probability remorse not signing Derrick Henry this offseason. Whereas Adams would not substitute Henry, it might be including one other dynamic participant to Dallas’ offense whereas rising their odds at making a deep playoff run. 

Whereas farfetched, the 49ers must be thought of given Aiyuk’s terrible begin to the yr following his large contract extension. One of many the explanation why the 49ers reportedly stored Aiyuk was as a result of they could not discover a crew keen to surrender a receiver of comparable expertise in a attainable commerce. That is the place Adams and the Raiders come into play. 

Sure, the Raiders must soak up Aiyuk’s wage, however they’d be getting a younger, proficient participant who ought to solely be coming into his prime. In return, the 49ers would get Aiyuk’s wage off the books and would as a substitute get a future Corridor of Famer who shares San Francisco’s need to win a hoop.
