Green Bay Packers Could Reunite with Star player in 2025 Offseason

The Green Bay Packers may consider reuniting with Davante Adams in the 2025 NFL offseason, three years after trading him to the Las Vegas Raiders. Adams played two seasons with the Raiders before being traded mid-2024 to the New York Jets. With the Jets currently at 3-10, Adams’ future with the team appears uncertain, opening the door for a potential move elsewhere.

A Return to Green Bay?
Brad Berreman of Fansided.com speculated on Adams’ possible destinations, with Green Bay emerging as a viable option. He noted that Adams could return as his career winds down, though this time without Aaron Rodgers. The Packers’ young receiving corps, which has struggled with consistency, could benefit from Adams’ leadership, while quarterback Jordan Love would gain a dependable veteran target.

The Packers are well-positioned financially, with an estimated $62.7 million in cap space for 2025. Adams, who likely wants to join a contending team as he chases a Super Bowl ring, might find Green Bay appealing. While a reunion would be unexpected, it aligns with both Adams’ potential aspirations and the Packers’ needs for experienced playmakers.

Financial Hurdles and Key Considerations
Adams is under contract for $35.64 million annually in 2025 and 2026. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Jets are unlikely to keep him at that price given his age (33 and 34 during those seasons). If Adams declines any attempts to restructure his deal, he could force the Jets to release him before free agency begins on March 12, 2025.

The Packers, currently in win-now mode, must weigh whether Adams is worth pursuing as a short-term solution. While they won’t face major contract obligations for their young core for another year or two, adding Adams as a one- or two-year rental remains uncertain.

Other Teams in the Mix
Although Green Bay is a potential landing spot, other teams might show greater urgency to acquire Adams. For example, the Los Angeles Chargers, a team in need of wide receiver help, could emerge as a strong contender to secure his services.

Ultimately, Adams’ destination will depend on how the Jets handle his contract situation and whether he prioritizes familiarity, finances, or a championship opportunity in his next move.
