The New York Jets are right at the center of the Davante Adams trade speculation.
Regardless, he’s out for Week 5.
According to The Athletic’s Diana Russini, the 31-year-old is not going to play in his current team’s upcoming matchup because of an injury… or his potential next team’s contest as well.
Per the report, regardless of what happens in the coming days, Adams is slated to miss Week 5 due to a hamstring issue:
Teams having conversations with the Raiders about Davante Adams have been informed his hamstring injury is expected to keep him sidelined 1-2 weeks. I’ve been told this is a real injury. He is expected to miss this week, but could be back next week if there are no snags.

Per Raiders Wire, Adams did miss last week with the same injury.
However, it’s hard to look over the current trade speculation. Adams requested he be dealt and naturally Las Vegas won’t want him to sustain a long-term issue that would hamper any return the team could get for him.
The trade deadline is still a month away on Tuesday November 5. There are four games between now and then and Vegas’ bye week is mixed in there.
According to separate reports, Adams would like to be traded to a team with one of his former teams’ quarterbacks on their roster. That puts Gang Green right in the mix of it.
Jets Wire will provide updates as information is made available.
