The New York Jets reached out to the Las Vegas Raiders about the availability of wide receiver Davante Adams ahead of the NFL trade deadline, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Schefter reported the Jets had Adams on their radar dating back to this past summer and were "waiting for the moment to reach out to Las Vegas to land the three-time All-Pro" in order to reunite him with former Green Bay Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers.
However, the Raiders reiterated to New York they weren't moving Adams.
Hours before the deadline was due to expire, Schefter said on First Take there was "not a chance in hell" Las Vegas would execute a blockbuster trade.
Not only did the Raiders decline to trade Adams, but they may have also redoubled their commitment to the 30-year-old. The franchise decided to fire head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler amid a 3-5 start that saw the decorated pass-catcher vent his frustration.
While Adams said he wasn't celebrating McDaniels' ouster, he told reporters, "it was time for some sort of change just to bring a little juice in and revitalize the team a little bit."

As bad as things are, the Raiders are only 1.5 games back of the Cleveland Browns for the final wild-card spot.
Of course, changing out the head coach and GM could instead signal a wider rebuild. Should Las Vegas miss the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years, it will be harder to argue the team is just a few moves away from meaningfully contending.
Adams would be an obvious player to move if team owner Mark Davis hires a general manager who takes a long-term approach.
Were that to happen, we know which team might attempt to jump to the front of the line to obtain Adams' services.
