5 Landing Spots for WR Davante Adams Following Release from Jets

5) Pittsburgh Steelers

Davante Adams has gone on record in the past to express his desire to play for Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. The wide receiver now has the opportunity to decide his own fate, and with the Steelers desperately seeking help at wide receiver, the time could finally be right for the two sides to come together. And considering that winning is of value to Adams, he may find comfort in the fact that Tomlin has never had a losing season in his coaching career. Perhaps the star wideout could be the playmaker to finally get him over the hump. However, they'll likely need to answer the question at quarterback before making a pitch to Adams.

1) Wherever Aaron Rodgers Lands

Before his release from the New York Jets, rumors quickly spread that Aaron Rodgers could be eyeing a fit down the road with the New York Giants and fielding the idea that he could bring Davante Adams with him. The two players have made it clear that they value playing alongside each other, and for a Giants' team that's looking to contend now and gear up toward the future, they're in the perfect position to do that. If Rodgers lands with the Giants or elsewhere, expect Adams to consider a fit alongside him.

2) Los Angeles Chargers

The Los Angeles Chargers turned heads this season in the first year of the Jim Harbaugh era. Justin Herbert looked like a quarterback most of the season who could keep LA in any game, and that was without a premiere top option at wide receiver. If the money is right, expect Davante Adams to field calls from as many California-based teams as possible, as he will likely prioritize returning to his West Coast roots.

3) Green Bay Packers

Davante Adams began his career in Green Bay before his situation soured after multiple strong seasons with the Packers. The wide receiver requested a trade from the NFC North squad but quickly found out the grass isn't always greener. Matt LaFleur and the Packers have returned promptly to contention as they've put together back-to-back impressive seasons in the first two years with Jordan Love as the starter. If Adams truly wants to win, he could consider returning to where it all started.

4) San Francisco 49ers

Another California-based team that could be in the running for Davante Adams could be John Lynch and the San Francisco 49ers. The team has already moved on from Deebo Samuel, and rumors about interest in offloading Brandon Aiyuk's contract have begun to surface. With the team likely to look to the free agency market to bolster their wide receiver room, they could pitch the opportunity to return to Cali and play under Kyle Shanahan to Adams.

5) Pittsburgh Steelers

Davante Adams has gone on record in the past to express his desire to play for Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. The wide receiver now has the opportunity to decide his own fate, and with the Steelers desperately seeking help at wide receiver, the time could finally be right for the two sides to come together. And considering that winning is of value to Adams, he may find comfort in the fact that Tomlin has never had a losing season in his coaching career.
