After Being Released From Jets Davante Adams Lands With Rams
He managed to fight his way out of Las Vegas and join his buddy in New York. However, things didn’t go as well as one might have hoped. Not for the quarterback or the wide receiver. However, despite the failure to launch in New York things quickly turned around for him. So after being released from the New York Jets Davante Adams lands with the Los Angeles Rams. Adams had joined the Jets to reunite with his quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two had spent several years together at the Green Bay Packers.
According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, “Davante Adams to the #Rams. He gets a 2-year deal worth $46M with $26M guaranteed. He wanted to stay on the West Coast.” Rumors had been swirling that the Rams were interested in having Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback. However, those rumors were quickly put to bed when the Rams agreed to terms with Matthew Stafford over a week ago. It seems that it was actually Adams in whom the Rams were interested.
But that then begs the question of why the Rams decided to acquire Adams while actively trying to trade mainstay Cooper Kupp. According to the Los Angeles Times, “Kupp is scheduled to have a salary-cap number of $29.8 million this year with a base salary of $12.5 million and $5 million guaranteed. He is due a $7.5 million roster bonus by mid-month, creating a deadline to get a trade deal done.” The team made it clear that Kupp’s time with the Rams is definitely over.
Therefore, they are moving forward with Adams who has played in the league for 11 seasons, Kupp has played for eight. Despite his 11-year NFL career it appears Adams still has some tread left on the tires.

Adams has amassed 957 receptions for 11,844 yards and 103 touchdowns in 11 NFL seasons, with 157 starts in 164 career games played in the regular season. He’s coming off his fifth-consecutive 1,000 yard season, accomplishing the feat across three games with the Raiders (18 receptions for 209 yards) and 11 with the Jets (67 for 854). He caught eight touchdowns, 85 receptions for 1,063 yards.
The Rams have also re-signed quarterback Jimmy Garappolo to be the backup to Matthew Stafford. He will return to L.A. on a one-year contract. It should be an interesting dynamic between Adams and Garoppolo. While with the Las Vegas Raiders Adams felt like Garoppolo was going to get him sent to the hospital with some of the passes thrown to him.
But as the backup quarterback, Garoppolo’s services may not be called upon next season.
