NFL Trade Rumors
When appearing on the Stephen A. Smith Show, Rams’ veteran WR Davante Adams reflected on the remaining longevity of his career, saying he’s playing well enough that he isn’t thinking about retirement.
“I’m staying focused on just if I can continue to run 21-22 miles an hour at 33, 32 years old, whatever it is, the good lord keep blessing me with my health, I can only control so much. But I like to think that where I’m at right now, I don’t need to think about retiring,” Adams said. “Unfortunately, coming into the season, that was a thought in my mind, just based off of how things had been going lately, that that could be the reality here soon.”
Adams added that he’ll continue to evaluate his career when their postseason run is finished.
“But we’ll finish this year out, and then we’ll have a better idea coming out of this year,” Adams said. “But I still won’t be able to say ‘next year or the year after that’ exactly, but keep working and the good lord keep blessing me, man. Hopefully, we’ve got plenty more time.”
As for whether it’s fair to say that the Rams will be the last team he plays for, Adams said it is “very fair” and doesn’t want to bounce around anymore.
“That is very, very, very fair to say,” Adams said. “I like to think I don’t want to make any more stops. I’ve already played for more teams than what I thought I would, so I would love for this to be my last stop.”
Rams WR Davante Adams had a strong first season in Los Angeles after signing a two-year contract last offseason following his tumultuous time with the Raiders and Jets. Adams said the Rams have been exactly what he was looking for after departing from the Packers in 2021.
“It’s a glaring difference when you come into a building like this,” Adams said, via Sarah Barshop of ESPN. “Coming here, this has turned out to be exactly what I was looking for the whole time.”
Rams HC Sean McVay said he’s already created a “special relationship” with Adams.
“I think we’re very similar personality-wise [and with our] competitiveness,” McVay said. “And we have a pretty special relationship that I cherish that’s only continued to grow.”
Seahawks QB Sam Darnold helped lead Seattle to the top seed in the NFC, earning a Pro Bowl selection in the process. Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald thinks Darnold is at his best when they give him freedom to make risky passes.
“That’s when Sam is at his best,” Macdonald said, via Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. “Any quarterback, for that matter, but especially Sam. He’s played great football when he has played like that. That’s why we coach him that way.”
Seahawks QB Drew Lock said OC Klint Kubiak does well with no overloading quarterbacks with information and letting them play aggressively.
