Davante Adams‘ contract with the Las Vegas Raiders was already a widely circulated topic before the NFL’s 2024 trade deadline. In the weeks leading up to the trade with the New York Jets, Davante reportedly preferred to be traded, according to ESPN. But how will his five-year contract be impacted?
Below is everything we know about Davante’s contract with the Raiders and his trade to the Jets.
Davante is a football wide receiver in the NFL. Born and raised in Palo Alto, California, he played football in high school and college until he was selected in the second round of the 2014 draft by the Green Bay Packers. The athlete played for the Packers from 2014 to 2021 until he was traded to the Raiders.

Davante was traded by the Raiders to the New York Jets in October 2024. Before the trade was announced, the move was widely debated on social media — especially after Raiders coach Antonio Pierce noticeably “liked” then “unliked” a Sports Illustrated Instagram post about Davante possibly playing his final game with the Raiders in early October.
In response, Davante noted that he hadn’t “heard from” nor “talked to” Antonio at the time during an interview on the “Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams.”
“Social media is a beast, so it’s a lot of people out there that saw it and wondering what’s going on and reaching out,” the NFL player said. “All I can control is this talk we’re having right here, and after we’re done with this, all I can control is the next thing that I’m on to.”
