Despite his frustrations during the 2023 season, Adams has publicly expressed his desire to remain a Raider. During the "Receiver" docuseries, he acknowledged the need to part ways with then-starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but he emphasized that it was necessary for him to "remain a Raider."

The Raiders have taken steps to address the issues that plagued the team last season, removing the interim tag from head coach Antonio Pierce and installing a new offensive line coach, Darren Rizzi. Adams has acknowledged the improved vibes within the team, noting the positive impact of Pierce's leadership.

However, rumors linking Adams to the New York Jets have persisted, fueled by his close relationship with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. During the "Receiver" docuseries, Adams revealed that he spent time with Rodgers while the Jets were in town to face the Raiders, expressing the mutual longing they felt.

Rodgers' recent comments, in which he expressed his eagerness to "play with him – again," further stoked the speculation. Nevertheless, Adams' agents have maintained that their client is under contract with the Raiders until 2027, with an opt-out option in 2025.

NFL trade rumors are often fueled by speculation, but Adams' camp has moved swiftly to extinguish these rumors. With just one week until training camp begins, the focus will shift to Adams' actions on the field, where he is expected to continue his dominance as one of the league's premier wide receivers.

The Raiders' general manager, Tom Telesco, has also expressed his confidence in Adams remaining with the team, stating during the scouting combine that Adams "is a Raider." Whether the Raiders can keep Adams beyond his current contract remains to be seen, but for now, the star receiver is expected to be a key part of the team's offense in 2024.
