Davante Adams was traded to the Jets this week – but now he’s shared the other teams that were on his list.
The wide receiver, 31, wanted out of Las Vegas early into his third season with the Raiders, and got his wish as he was reunited with his close friend Aaron Rodgers in New York.
But in an appearance on FanDuel TV’s Up and Adams with Kay Adams (no relation) on Thursday, the player shared that there were three other franchises he had interest in joining: the Bills, Steelers and Saints.
‘Those are the ones that got involved, those are the ones that I wrote down on a little piece of paper and handed to the general manager,’ he said, after Kay Adams mentioned the reports linking him to those teams.
‘Those are the ones that were interested.’

However, he said that the Kansas City Chiefs were not on his wish list of teams
On the contrary, Adams also revealed that the Chiefs – who have been decimated by injuries at wide receiver – were not on his list.
However, the new Jets star said that his ‘number one choice’ was to wind up in New York.
On Tuesday, Adams was sent to the Jets in exchange for a conditional third-round pick.
The next day, Adams participated in his first Jets practice alongside his new teammates.

While he had been out with a hamstring issue the last three weeks with the Raiders, he told reporters after practice that he’ll be ‘able to roll’ this weekend.
The Jets – who fell to 2-4 after losing to Buffalo on Monday – will travel to Pittsburgh on Sunday night looking to get their season back on track.
Still, Adams will need some time to adjust to his new surroundings, as Rodgers said his close friend is currently staying with him.
