NFL insider's latest comment on Davante Adams will get the Rams hype train moving even faster than it was before for 2025

There's plenty of excitement surrounding the Los Angeles Rams as the upcoming season nears. The Rams are going through minicamp at the moment, one of just a handful of teams still in action.

Their offseason has been a busy one, but arguably the biggest veteran move they made was adding Davante Adams to their offense. He could turn into Matthew Stafford's new best friend, alongside Puka Nacua. 

Davante Adams still seen as elite

In a recent offseason nuggets piece from NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, the Rams were mentioned because of their acquisition of the long-time star wide receiver. Adams still has plenty of fans around the league, according to Fowler. 

Adams is 32, but he's still performing at a high level and rarely misses time because of injury. Many evaluators still consider him elite, while acknowledging that he might have lost half a step after 11 years in the league.

Teams we spoke to think Los Angeles got good value in Adams at two years and $44 million. The team can escape the deal after one year and $20 million and still save $14 million on the cap.

"Sean [McVay] can get really creative with him, because he's that classic outside receiver with size that you can also slide inside," an NFL personnel evaluator said. "It's a risk because Kupp was so good there for so long. But I see this as a slight upgrade."

Adams has impressed the coaching staff during practice, and he seems to be working out a groove with the other pieces to the passing game under Sean McVay.
