Veteran Collingwood midfielder Taylor Adams is reportedly exploring interstate rival interest following the Magpies' flag-winning season.
Adams missed Collingwood's premiership triumph over the Brisbane Lions last Saturday due to an ill-timed hamstring injury sustained during the finals series.
According to Seven reporter Mitch Cleary on Friday morning, Adams is exploring an opportunity with the Sydney Swans this off-season.
The 30-year-old has one year remaining on his current Collingwood contract, with the motive behind his potential Olympic Park departure thought to revolve around a decrease in midfield minutes in 2023; as a result of ex-Hawthorn midfielder Tom Mitchell's inclusion last year.
Cleary added the Magpies view Adams as a required player next season, while the Swans have been looking to add mature talent.
Sydney is already expected to add former Collingwood ruckman Brodie Grundy -- who is understood to have a close relationship with Adams -- this year via trade.
