This season isn't over yet. Everything about Adams future is merely speculation at this point.
The new talk is based on recent articles suggesting the Jets should release Adams.
If he were to be released, how are you so certain NO Team will claim him off of waivers due to his 2025 salary? His remaining 2024 prorated salary is doable.
You're definitely correct saying that no teams are going to pay him 38 million in 2025.
What you didn't consider is that a team claiming him off of waivers could rework his contact, trade him, or cut him outright post June 1st in 2025.
You're placing an $8 to $10 million 2025 value on his 2025 salary should he become a free agent. How did you determine that range in value for Adams?
From what I've read if he becomes a free agent in 2025 he's likely to sign for between $13 to $15 million dollars on a 1 yr deal.

Jets Already Told to Cut Ex-Raiders WR Davante Adams
Now he looks like an aging wide receiver with some diva tendencies. Not a ton of teams are going to want to sign up for that in the offseason.
It’s hard to imagine any team will pay him more than
$15 million a year. He may be looking at something closer to the
$13 million a year DeAndre Hopkins is making.
There should be no shortage of teams that would like to add him. He’ll likely want to play for a contender. Teams like the
Buffalo Bills,
Kansas City Chiefs and
Baltimore Ravens could consider him.

Jets May Cut Struggling WR Davante Adams Amid Disappointing Season
With his age and diminishing stats, the market for Adams could be limited this offseason, possibly reducing his value to around
$13 million per year.
What's Next
Adams is likely facing a contract overhaul this offseason, with potential interest from contending teams looking for a veteran receiver. If the Jets release him, he could negotiate a more favorable deal, possibly seeking a return to the Green Bay Packers or joining other contenders like the Bills or Chiefs.
