The New York Jets are releasing wide receiver Davante Adams as they embark on the post-Aaron Rodgers era, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
The Jets also have given permission to wide receiver Allen Lazard to seek a trade before the start of the new league year on March 12, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
Adams was due to make $35.6 million in 2025 base pay, non-guaranteed.
Adams was acquired last October in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders -- a move that cost the Jets a 2025 third-round draft pick. Now, after a disastrous 5-12 season that prompted an organizational reboot, the Jets are shedding remnants of the Rodgers regime.
