Diana Russini The Steelers are reportedly interested in trading Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams.
Russini added that the two countries have discussed potential trade and maintain open communication.
The situation surrounding Adams continues to evolve, with multiple teams interested in trading for the veteran receiver, including the Jets, Saints, Cowboys, Steelers and Bills.
Las Vegas appears willing to trade Adams, who has requested a trade from the team after months of speculation, for a package that includes a second-round pick.
Adams, 31, is a former second-round pick selected by the Packers out of Fresno State in the 2014 NFL Draft. He was in the final year of his four-year, $3.933 million rookie contract when the Packers signed him to a four-year extension worth $58 million.
Adams had a base salary of $12 million for the 2021 season and was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2022 when the Packers used the franchise tag on him at a figure of $20.2 million. He was then traded to the Raiders for a first-round and second-round pick in the 2022 draft.
The Raiders also signed Adams to a five-year, $140 million contract as part of the trade, including nearly $66 million guaranteed. He will be paid base salaries of $16.89 million and $35.64 million over the next two seasons.
In 2024, Adams appeared in three games and had 18 receptions for 209 yards (11.6 YPC) and one touchdown.
