Davante Adams Would 'Potentially' Be Open to Jets Return Without Aaron Rodgers as QB

Davante Adams' future with the New York Jets may not be tied to quarterback Aaron Rodgers' future.

One day after the Jets Week 18 victory over the Miami Dolphins to end the season, Adams acknowledged that he would "potentially" be open to returning to the team even if Rodgers didn't return but it would "depend on everything" that the team does in the offseason.

He also said he personally has "no idea" about his future with the team.

"I have no idea, honestly," Adams said. "I'm just trying to take a little time right now and re-assess. I want to see how I'm feeling, have a few conversations and hopefully come up with a plan going forward."

He acknowledged that Rodgers' decision "for sure" would impact his.

He also discussed a "nagging" hip injury he was dealing with and said it was "painful" but that he had dealt with more difficult injuries before.

Adams was acquired by the Jets on Oct. 15 to help the team make a push for the postseason after a 2-4 start to the season. The move came less than 24 hours after the team had fired head coach Robert Saleh and reunited Adams with Rodgers, who he had played eight seasons alongside on the Green Bay Packers.

The move did not push the needle for the Jets as hoped, as the team would lose their next two games and eventually finished the season at 5-12. Adams was productive for the Jets, with 67 catches for 854 yards and seven touchdowns, but the team was unable to capitalize and enters the offseason with significant uncertainty.

He has an "out" in his contract following the 2024 season and "controls his own destiny" when it comes to negotiations with the Jets, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. If the Jets are able to put forward a competitive team, with or without Rodgers, Adams may be willing to return and see if he can help the team reach new heights.

If not, the 32-year-old should be a hot commodity in free agency.
