Top West Coast fits for WR Davante Adams should he leave Jets

It looks like star wide receiver Davante Adams could be going to team No. 4.

Adams, 32, will enter the fourth season of a five-year, $140 million deal, unless the New York Jets, who acquired him from the Las Vegas Raiders in October but finished the season 5-12, release him. A three-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler, Adams appeared in just three games for the Raiders before being traded to the Jets. That said, across a combined 14 games this season, Adams still totaled 85 receptions for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns.

Adams grew up in Palo Alto, California, played college football at Fresno State and wanted to play for the Raiders in 2022, partially because they were on the West Coast. One would imagine that should Adams want to relocate again, it would be to a team in that region of that country, a notion supported by an ESPN report stating that the receiver is "intrigued" by such a move.

On that note, here are the three best West Coast fits for Adams, whether it's via trade or free agency.

The Cardinals are a team on the rise, and Adams could be the player that takes their offense to the next level.

Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. held his own in his 2024 rookie campaign (885 yards and eight touchdowns on 14.3 yards per reception), and Trey McBride (111 receptions for 1,146 yards and two touchdowns this season) has established himself as one of the best pass-catching tight ends in the NFL.

Adams checks multiple boxes for the Cardinals. From the jump, he would become their top receiver, offering a sharp and proven deep-ball threat. Adams could also be a mentor to Harrison, who one could argue has a similar build to Adams and whose upside is comparable to the future Hall of Famer. Couple an improved passing game
