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.
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
