Davante Adams is still a Raider, and the team is looking for a trade partner willing to pay a high price for the star receiver.
Add Buffalo Bills as potential competition for Jets before Nov. 5 trade deadline with The Athletic Reported to be “monitoring” the situation.
Teams that have not expressed interest include the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs.
Buffalo will turn to a playmaker as top receiver Khalil Shakir is recovering from injury while quarterback Josh Allen's minutes have been drastically reduced following the departure of Stefon Diggs to Houston. The possibility is definitely there.
But if the Bills really pursue a deal, there are still hurdles to overcome, including the asking price for a second-round pick.
Adams is still being paid an exorbitant salary for the remainder of the season, nearing $1 million a week.
According to OverTheCap and Spotrac, Buffalo would need the Raiders to receive nearly all of Adams' salary, as the team has just over $3 million in salary cap space.
The Bills have long been considered an underdog team due to the league's salary cap, but they may be able to escape that predicament somewhat.
Bills linebacker Von Miller is currently suspended for the next four games, meaning four weeks of the Bills' $500,000 a week salary will be exempt from the salary cap.
That could make a big difference if the Bills want to acquire Adams.
Still, the Raiders owe Adams $993,529 per week, which means he owes nearly $12 million for the remainder of the season, an amount the Bills simply can't afford. .
Adams has made it clear that he wants to be part of a team with a quarterback he can rely on, and perhaps none more so than Jets signal-caller Aaron Rodgers.
former patriots coach Bill Belichick said no team would pay. Adams is a second-round pick during the season, and it will certainly be very difficult to pay his contract in full unless the Raiders pick up the burden.
All of this points to a complicated trade negotiation with the expectation that he will be traded sooner or later.
The star receiver has 209 receiving yards and one touchdown in three games this season, but missed the last two games with a hamstring injury.
