Jets reportedly shopping Davante Adams, will release star WR if no deal
The Jets are taking trade calls for Adams and will release the star wide receiver should no deal materialize, NFL Media reported Sunday.
Adams, 32, is entering the fourth season of a five-year, $140 million deal with a $38.2 million cap hit for next season. They'd clear nearly $30 million in cap space if they release or trade him prior to June 1, per OverTheCap.com.
New York acquired Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders during the 2024 season after starting 2-4, a move which reunited the receiver with quarterback Aaron Rodgers — who the Jets announced that they're moving on from last month with new head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey at the wheel.
Across a combined 14 games (three with the Raiders and 11 with the Jets), Adams totaled 85 receptions for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns last season. He has totaled 1,000-plus receiving yards in five consecutive seasons and six of the past seven.
Adams, a three-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler, spent the first eight seasons of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, followed by a two-plus-year stint in Las Vegas.
The Jets are coming off a 5-12 season and have roughly $24 million in cap space this offseason, according to Over The Cap.

Jets vs. Giants prediction: NFL preseason Week 2 picks, best bets for the Snoopy Bowl
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Why not bet on the Snoopy Bowl? It's the 2025 NFL preseason, and this is perhaps the biggest one we'll have on the calendar. The Giants are strong favorites to win for a preseason game, coming in at -195 odds on BetMGM with the spread sitting at 3.5 points. The Jets initially opened as -1.5 point favorites, but the line moved four points in the Giants' direction. There aren't too many options in the prop markets, though Justin Fields could get some reps, and there are some markets related to the quarterback on FanDuel. Fields is +500 on FanDuel to throw a touchdown pass, while Garrett Wilson is 14/1 to score his team's first touchdown. Wilson is highly unlikely to play more than one drive in this game. The same goes for Breece Hall, who is +850 to score the game's first touchdown. We could see plenty of the Jets starters in the Snoopy Bowl. Getty Images Jets vs. Giants prediction The Giants have lost this matchup four straight times, losing 13-10 last season. In their first preseason game, Jaxson Dart put on a show as the Giants scored 34 points in a win over the Bills. It certainly seems like the Giants have had a strong preseason and have far superior quarterback depth, with Dart expected to play plenty, along with Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. If you're looking for action, the Giants are the play. Betting on the NFL? By most accounts, the Giants' defensive front ate the Jets up in joint practices earlier this month. If the Giants' defensive line is that dominant, the Jets are sure to be in trouble. PICK: Giants -3.5 (-110, BetMGM) Why Trust New York Post Betting Erich Richter is a brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt but he has a black belt in MMA betting. During the football season he's showcased massive profits at The Post in the player prop market the last two seasons. While constantly betting long shots, his return on investment is 30.15 percent since 2022.

Will NFL, Rashee Rice come to an agreement on length of suspension?
Regardless of whether the NFL should have immediately set a hearing in the Rashee Rice disciplinary case the instant he pleaded guilty to two felonies on July 17, the league and Rice haven't been able to strike a deal on suspension. The league, as recently noted by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, proposed a suspension that would last more than half of the season. Rice's position is that there's no precedent for that kind of punishment. Rice's side undoubtedly will point to the fact that the league suspended Jets cornerback Brandon Echols only one game in 2023, after causing a crash at a high rate of speed. Another driver was injured in the wreck, resulting in broken ribs and spinal surgery. The league would likely say there's no precedent to support a lengthy suspension of Rice, because the situation itself is unprecedented. First, he was racing. In broad daylight on a Dallas highway. Second, he caused a multi-car pileup that easily could have killed someone. Third, injuries happened. Fourth, the whole thing was caught on video. Then there's the fact that Rice initially left the scene. Although he eventually realized he had no choice but to admit he was driving, expect the hearing before Judge Sue L. Robinson to include evidence regarding Rice's behavior after the crash. Vikings receiver Jordan Addison, who was charged with DUI and pleaded to a lesser misdemeanor charge, recently received a three-game suspension. Yes, it's a different policy. Regardless, Rice pleaded guilty to two felonies. He'll spend 30 days in jail. He should get four games, at a minimum. The real question is whether Judge Robinson (and, on appeal, the Commissioner or his designee) will ignore the fact that no one was killed and determine a punishment aimed at deterring others from playing Russian roulette with a two-ton steel machine on wheels. Because that's what Rice did, regardless of the fact that he (and those in the other cars around him) got lucky. The two sides can reach an agreement on a suspension at any time. If they don't, a hearing will happen on September 30. Rice will be available to play until the case ends. And, yes, folks in the league continue to be confused by the league's departure from the standard practice resolving suspensions before Week 1. Whatever the reason(s), it's not the way these situations are typically handled.
