**Davante Adams' Potential Trade in Limbo Amidst Coaching Shakeup and Player Injuries**

Davante Adams had identified the New York Jets and the New Orleans Saints as his top choices for a trade destination. However, negotiations with the Las Vegas Raiders have slowed significantly due to recent upheavals, according to ESPN. The sudden firing of Jets coach Robert Saleh and a significant injury to Saints quarterback Derek Carr have cast uncertainty over the situation.

Saleh's dismissal came on Tuesday, following the Jets' disappointing 2-3 start that included a recent overseas loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has stepped in as interim coach, adding further complexity to the team's decision-making process. Saleh’s exit could have broader implications for the franchise and its trade plans.

Meanwhile, Carr, who indicated he was eager to reunite with Adams, suffered an oblique injury in the Saints' Monday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs, where they faced another defeat. Carr's injury is expected to sideline him for multiple games, complicating the Saints' immediate future. This situation has cast doubt on the viability of acquiring Adams, as Carr himself admitted his condition was "not good" after the Week 5 loss. In Carr's absence, rookie Spencer Rattler is likely to take over at quarterback.

NFL insiders believe that Adams’ trade is still likely before the November 5 in-season deadline. However, the current disruptions in both New York and New Orleans have temporarily stalled discussions. Adams has a strong advocate in the Jets’ camp—quarterback Aaron Rodgers, his former teammate with the Green Bay Packers. Nevertheless, how Saleh’s sudden exit will affect the team’s decisions remains uncertain.

Despite the setbacks, most around the NFL expect Adams, a Pro Bowl wide receiver, to eventually find a new home. According to Adam Schefter, the primary question remains not whether but when and where Adams will be traded. With both the Jets and the Saints dealing with major internal changes, other potential landing spots might emerge for Adams as the November deadline approaches.
