Davante Adams got his wish earlier this week when the Las Vegas Raiders sent him to the New York Jets, reuniting the All-Pro wide receiver with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

It was reported earlier this month that Davante Adams requested a trade from the Raiders, with the Jets and New Orleans Saints on his wish list. The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs were also linked to Adams, and it made sense on paper given the injuries to Rashee Rice and Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.

But during an appearance on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams” program on FanDuel TV, the 31-year-old gave a short and sweet explanation as to why Patrick Mahomes Chiefs didn’t win the sweepstakes. It’s simply because Adams didn’t want to go there.

“Negative,” Adams said when asked if Kansas City was on his wish list. “That was talked about, I don’t want to say anything crazy, but the Chiefs weren’t on the list.”

It’s also safe to assume that the Raiders had no interest in dealing Davante Adams to a heated rival like Kansas City. At any rate, the Jets got him for the surprisingly low price of a 2026 conditional third-round pick that could become a second.

Adams missed the Raiders’ last three games to injury but is set to debut for the Jets against Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. In his final three games with the Raiders, Adams caught 18 passes for 209 yards and one touchdown.

Davante Adams Makes Jets Contenders

The Jets’ playoff hopes took a giant blow when they fell to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, but their season is far from over thanks to the arrival of Adams. New York may be 2-4 heading into Sunday night, but an offense with Rodgers, Adams, Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Breece Hall makes the Jets a bonafide contender now.

It will likely only require 10 wins to reach the postseason, so the Jets can probably afford three more losses. If Adams comes as advertised, they may even make a run at the AFC East division crown.

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.
