Why Adams-to-49ers is unlikely but worth exploring after Jets release

Bay Area native Davante Adams is available.And the price is right for the three-time All-Pro wide receiver. The New York Jets released him Tuesday, so it will not cost his new team anything.However, Adams still will want to get paid like a top-flight wide receiver.Adams, 32, still has something in his tank, so there is no reason for him to play on the cheap.Adams played for two miserable franchises last season. And between his three games with the Raiders and 11 games with the New York Jets, he still managed to catch a combined 85 passes for 1,063 yards and eight touchdowns.Adams has registered six 1,000-yard seasons in the past seven years. The one time he failed to reach that threshold was in 2019, when he had 997 receiving yards in just 11 games with the Green Bay Packers.Would the 49ers be interested in adding Adams to their roster? You betcha.The 49ers have enough question marks at wide receiver that they should be looking to add a veteran player.After all, Brandon Aiyuk's status remains uncertain as he returns from a torn ACL that ended his 2024 season after just seven games. Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall are back. And the 49ers are hoping for a big leap in production...
