5 teams that should steal Davante Adams from the Packers
By Scott Rogust
The Indianapolis Colts are coming off a season where they stunningly did not make it into the playoffs, despite the momentum they carried entering the tail-end of the campaign. There are no doubt going to be questions about what they do at quarterback, considering Carson Wentz’s performance in the regular-season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Yes, the top of the wide receiver corps is set with Michael Pittman Jr. and Parris Campbell. Yet, there is going to be an opening in the starting lineup, as longtime Colt T.Y. Hilton is hitting unrestricted free agency this offseason. Hilton is coming off a disappointing season where he caught 23 passes for 331 yards and three touchdowns on the year.
It will be hard seeing Hilton not playing for the Colts, but if the organization wants to contend for the Lombardi Trophy in a tough AFC, they will need to make a splash on offense. They can do so by signing Adams.
The Denver Broncos already have a loaded wide receiver corps with Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick and Jerry Jeudy. How would Adams fit on this team. Well, look who is the new head coach for Denver.
After parting ways with Vic Fangio at the end of the season, the Broncos conducted their head coaching search and decided to hire Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. Of course, Adams knows Hackett well, since they have worked together for the past three seasons.
By way of Hackett’s hiring, that also opened the door for speculation as to whether the Broncos will make a run at Rodgers this offseason. If there was one thing that held Denver back from making the playoffs in recent years, it was not having a good-to-great quarterback under center. Rodgers would certainly help the Broncos to enough wins to make the playoffs.
Whatever Denver does at quarterback, they are worth keeping an eye on when it comes to potential landing spots for Adams.
