Davante Adams was traded to the Jets this week, but now he has shared the other teams that were on his list.
The 31-year-old wide receiver wanted to get out of Las Vegas at the start of his third season with the Raiders, and he got his wish when he met up with close friend Aaron Rodgers in New York.
But in an appearance in Up and Adams from FanDuel TV With Kay Adams (no relation) on Thursday, the player shared that there were three other franchises he had interest in joining: the Bills, Steelers and Saints.
“Those are the ones that got involved, those are the ones I wrote on a little piece of paper and gave it to the general manager,” he said, after Kay Adams mentioned reports linking him to those teams.
“Those are the ones who were interested.”

However, he said the Kansas City Chiefs were not on his wish list of teams.
Conversely, Adams also revealed that the Chiefs, who have been decimated by injuries at wide receiver, were not on his list.
However, the new Jets star said his “number one option” was to end up in New York.
On Tuesday, Adams was dealt to the Jets in exchange for a conditional third-round pick.
The next day, Adams participated in his first Jets practice alongside his new teammates.
Adams has reunited with his good friend and former Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers.
Although he had been out with a hamstring issue the past three weeks with the Raiders, he told reporters after practice that he “will be able to roll” this weekend.
The Jets, who fell to 2-4 after losing to Buffalo on Monday, will travel to Pittsburgh on Sunday night looking to get their season back on track.
Still, Adams will need some time to adjust to his new surroundings, as Rodgers said his close friend is currently staying with him.
