Denver Broncos Potential Landing Spot for Davante Adams
Speculation has been rife regarding the future destination of former Pro Bowl wide receiver Davante Adams following his surprising release by the New York Jets. NFL Network insider James Palmer has singled out the Denver Broncos as a team to keep a close eye on in the pursuit of Adams. Palmer also mentioned other potential landing spots for Adams, including the Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Green Bay Packers.
Palmer highlighted the appeal of the Broncos as a potential destination for Adams, especially considering their developing offensive line and the chemistry Adams could build with quarterback Bo Nix. With Courtland Sutton already in place as a key target, adding Adams to the mix could significantly bolster the Broncos’ receiving corps. Despite the absence of a true No. 1 wide receiver, Adams could provide valuable support to the group.
Adams, a three-time All-Pro player with previous stints at the Packers and Raiders, greenlit a trade to the Jets last year to reunite with Aaron Rodgers. During his time with the Jets, Adams accumulated 854 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games. However, his catch rate of 45.6% was the lowest of his career. As Adams enters his 33rd year, he is expected to command an annual salary of approximately $13.6 million in the open market.
The California native has expressed a desire to play for a team on the West Coast, which raises questions about whether Denver fits his geographic preference. While the Broncos are reportedly looking to enhance their receiving options to support quarterback Bo Nix, they may opt for a more understated approach rather than pursuing the high-profile Adams.
The Broncos’ potential signing of a notable receiver this offseason aligns with their strategy to fortify the team around Nix. As the offseason unfolds, the NFL community eagerly awaits to see where Adams will land and how his addition could impact his new team’s offensive dynamics.
