After his trade from the Green Bay Packers two years ago, he signed a five-year, $140 million contract with the Raiders.

It remains to be seen where Adams ends up. Early reporting suggests that he would be interested in playing with quarterbacks that he has familiarity with, such as Aaron Rodgers with the New York Jets or Derek Carr with the New Orleans Saints. However, according to a new report from Dianna Russini of, the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are a couple teams monitoring Adams, and would be "more likely" to get involved if the Raiders are willing to take on some of Adams's salary.
Teams like Buffalo and Kansas City are all monitoring the situation and are more likely to get involved if the Raiders are willing to take on some of the money, per sources.The Raiders sending Adams to the Chiefs within the division, to a back-to-back Super Bowl champion, would certainly be an interesting decision. The Bills are searching for another pass catcher after appearing to miscalculate the impact of Stefon Diggs on the offense.
