The Green Bay Packers know that there will be some work to do this off-season to get the team to that next level. Just like last off-season, Green Bay will likely add to the team in free agency before the 2025 NFL Draft.
One of those names would be a welcome reunion for Green Bay fans.
“A No-Brainer” Packers Pegged For Massive Move In Very Near Future (Report)
Eric Fischer of FanSided highlighted a reunion that would make fans extremely happy:
Potential free agent moves the Packers could make at wide receiver
1. Davante Adams (if the Jets release him)
This one is kind of a no-brainer, right? This week, Davante Adams joined Up & Adams and said he believes in Jordan Love. He hinted that maybe the team needs a veteran receiver. Speculation amped up even further after Packers safety Xavier McKinney responded to the video.
Adams is currently under contract with the New York Jets after reuniting with Aaron Rodgers this season. He has two years left on his current deal unless the Jets release him, as many have speculated they may do with a new regime coming.
Adams just turned 32, and despite playing for two struggling teams in 2024, he still turned in a respectable 85 catches for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games. He would’ve led the Packers in each metric.
It would make sense for the Jets to outright release him for a dead cap hit of only $8 million, at which point the question becomes, would he want to take a pay cut to come back home? If the answer is yes, this may make a lot of sense.
Here is a look at Adams’ stats this season:
