The upcoming NFL season features a long list of teams aiming to return to the spotlight. The Los Angeles Rams are among them, and one clear statement of intent was the addition of Davante Adams, brought in to be Matthew Stafford’s new key weapon.
The former Raiders and Jets wide receiver is seeking redemption after a disappointing campaign in which he couldn’t fully showcase his talent in the AFC East. This new chapter in his career represents a major challenge as he looks to reestablish himself as one of the league’s top receivers.
Adams doesn’t just see this as a chance for personal redemption—head coach Sean McVay also expects his team to emerge as a legitimate title contender, a goal that will be anything but easy to achieve.
Adams’ impressions after joining the Rams
Adams arrived in Los Angeles after a frustrating stint in New York, where many even questioned what the future held for him in the league. The wide receiver spoke with the media and expressed enthusiasm about what lies ahead.

“It feels like I’ve been on this team for a couple years now, just based off of how open and receptive the guys have been to me.”

Positive atmosphere in the Rams’ locker room
In addition to having extraordinary talent, Adams knows he’s now part of a strong and unified group. That kind of chemistry is essential within a roster when aiming for meaningful results.
“I feel like this is what I needed just based off the vibe and the aura of the building,” Adams said. “And everybody’s in a good mood. It’s not like a dark cloud over the building. And I’ve experienced that quite a bit over the last few years. So, it’s a glaring difference when you come into a building like this.”
