New York Jets Veteran wide receiver Davante Adams has fueled speculation about a possible reunion with the Green Bay Packers following his comments about his former team’s needs for the 2025 season.
The packers made an early exit from the playoffs with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, despite entering the playoffs as the league’s youngest team for a second straight year. Green Bay struggled throughout the season playing against stellar teams, losing six games to teams that finished with a record of 11-6 or better.

Much of that centered around a talented but young receiving room, and for Adams, that would be the Packers’ priority this offseason.
“I just think it kind of depends on the health of the team,” he said Tuesday during an appearance on “Up & Adams.”
“It seems like right now, obviously, they might need help from a receiver in some way, depending on what they have. Maybe a veteran or something there -inside. I don’t know, we’ll see.”

The comments sparked speculation on social media that Adams might be talking about himself, especially given the season he had in New York after reuniting with former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
The Jets extended their historic playoff drought after finishing the season 5-12. The team has undergone significant changes, including the search for a new head coach and general manager.
It’s also possible that Rodgers won’t return.

The two played eight seasons together in Green Bay, and Rodgers’ decision will undoubtedly play a role in Adams’.
He said Monday that this season has been a “whirlwind” and he doesn’t know what his next step will be. Adams is projected to earn $35.64 million in each of the next two years.
