New York Jets Veteran receiver Davante Adams has fueled speculation about a possible reunion with the Green Bay Packers after his comments about his former team’s needs for the 2025 season.
The packages made an early playoff exit with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday despite reaching the postseason as the youngest roster in the league for the second year in a row. Green Bay struggled all season playing against polished 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 receiver room, and for Adams, that would be the focus for the Packers this offseason.
“I just think it kind of depends on the health of the team,” he said Tuesday during an appearance on the “Up & Adams” show.
“It looks like right now they could obviously need receiver help one way or another just based on what they have available. Maybe a veteran or something in there. 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 gone through significant changes, including the search for a new head coach and a new general manager.
There is also a possibility that Rodgers will not return.

The two played eight seasons together in Green Bay, and Rodgers’ decision will no doubt play a role in Adams’.
He said Monday that this season has been a “whirlwind” and he’s unsure what his next step will be. Adams is set to make $35.64 million in each of the next two years.
