The New York Jets and New Orleans Saints are high on Davante Adams' wish list of preferred destinations due to familiarity with the teams' quarterbacks, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Multiple teams are interested in the Raiders receiver, with the Jets and Dallas Cowboys having checked in with Las Vegas about Adams, The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports. Meanwhile, the Steelers have "preliminary interest" in discussing a potential trade with the Raiders, a source told NFL insider Josina Anderson.

The Kansas City Chiefs aren't expected to be a potential landing spot, Schefter reports.

A potential trade to the Jets would reunite Adams with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who threw him passes for the first eight years of his NFL career while they were both members of the Green Bay Packers. A move to New Orleans would bring together Adams and former Raiders signal-caller Derek Carr.

Adams reportedly informed the Raiders that he'd prefer to be traded. The wideout was involved in trade speculation recently, including after head coach Antonio Pierce seemingly liked an Instagram post Monday about the possibility that the star receiver could be dealt.

While Adams would like to be traded as soon as possible, the Raiders' front office is in no rush to move the 31-year-old until its asking price is met, Russini notes.

Las Vegas is rumored to want a second-round pick and additional compensation.

Adams is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury that's reportedly week-to-week.

He's in the midst of a five-year deal worth $140 million that runs through 2026. The NFL's trade deadline is Nov. 5 at 4 p.m. ET.
