Davante Adams is reportedly joining the Los Angeles Rams on a two-year, $46 million contract, NFL Network reports.

Per the report, the contract comes with $26 million in guaranteed money.

Adams joins a Rams team that is reportedly in talks to trade former All-Pro receiver Cooper Kupp.

A six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro receiver, Adams split last season with the Raiders and Jets because of a midseason trade from Las Vegas to New York. He remained one of the league’s more productive receivers at 32 years old while tallying 85 catches for 1,063 yards with eight touchdowns in 14 games.

The Jets released Adams last week after failing to find a trade partner to take the remainder of his five-year, $140 million contract that ran through the 2026 season. The Jets saved $29.9 million against the salary cap by releasing Adams. New York initially acquired Adams to play alongside his former Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers, whom the Jets also released this offseason.

Adams now joins a contending Rams team fresh off an NFC West title and trip to the divisional round of the playoffs. Assuming that Kupp does get traded or released, Adams will take over the role as the veteran receiver on the team alongside rising star Puka Nacua. A two-year Pro, Nacua made the Pro Bowl as a rookie and tallied 79 passes for 990 yards and three touchdowns in 2024 despite being limited to 11 games because of injury.

This is a breaking news story that will be updated.
