Davante Adams found a crafty and hysterical way to break the silence on his trade to the New York Jets this morning.
On Tuesday, news broke that the Las Vegas Raiders traded Davante Adams to the Jets for a conditional third-round draft selection that can become a second. The deal reunites the All-Pro wide receiver with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Adams’ teammate in Green Bay from 2014 to 2021.
The trade was being discussed during Rodgers’ weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” today. Then, unexpectedly, Adams shocked McAfee and the audience by appearing right behind Rodgers.
“We’re back man, we’re back,” an enthused Adams told McAfee.
Two weeks ago, it was reported that Davante Adams had requested a trade from the Raiders amid reports that he was unhappy with the organization. Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce was even caught “liking” an Instagram post about the 31-year-old possibly playing his last game for the organization.

The Jets fell 23-20 to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night and are now 2-4, albeit only one game out of the final wild card spot in the AFC. Adams has missed the last three weeks with a hamstring injury, and it remains to be seen if he can play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7.
In his final three games as a Raider, Adams caught 18 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown. The six-time Pro Bowler has 890 career receptions for 10,990 yards and 96 touchdowns.
Davante Adams Is What The Jets Needed
The Jets offense has not come as advertised, with Rodgers still yet to post a 300-yard game with his new team. Running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Garrett Wilson had largely underperformed up until their strong Week 6 outings against Buffalo.
But with Rodgers’ greatest wide receiver ever making his way to New York, the 2-4 Jets suddenly have hope again.
Shocking New Information Exposes Davante Adams For Blatantly Lying About His Trade Demand To Make Raiders Head Coach Antonio Pierce Look Bad

It appears Davante Adams has some explaining to do.
In the midst of trade discussions, more information is surfacing on when the wideout actually requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders, and it explains why his head coach did what he did on social media.
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce made waves when he appeared to like a post on social media that said Adams could be done in Las Vegas:
It was weird that it came out of nowhere.
Davante Adams said he didn’t know what was going on with that situation and hadn’t heard from him in the aftermath.
It turns out Adams actually already requested a trade before Pierce liked that post on Instagram.

“I’m out. Get me out. I don’t want my career to end like this,” Adams told Pierce, per Fox.
Davante Adams then lied on Up & Adams when he said he hadn’t heard from his head coach.
“I haven’t heard from [Antonio Pierce]. I haven’t talked to him,” Adams told Up and Adams host Kay Adams on Tuesday of last week. “I don’t really know what that was about. Obviously social media is a beast, so it’s a lot of people out there that saw it and wondering what’s going on, and people reaching out.”
Has Davante Adams Truly Played His Final game For The Raiders?
The talk of the past 18 months for the New York Jets has all been about trading for Davante Adams.
That may actually happen since he and the Raiders are on board with getting him traded.
As Las Vegas Raiders star Davante Adams continues waiting for a resolution to his trade request, one wonders if the team plans to sit him until one is done.
Adams was out last week due to injury, and even if he progressed enough to play, would the team take the chance of him being hurt and affecting a trade?
