Jets Trade For Davante Adams To Reunite Him With Aaron Rodgers
The New York Jets have joined the dance as a major player in bolstering their sputtering offense by trading for Las Vegas Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams. The deal brings Adams back together with Aaron Rodgers following a highly productive partnership in Green Bay. It’s no trade-heavy NBA Trade Deadline that has pass us by, so let’s break down the following by what it means to the teams in question and each player involved.
Raiders trade Davante Adams to Jets
Davante Adams to the New York Jets from Las Vegas Raiders deal being finalized, pending physical. The Jets will trade him and a fourth-round pick in 2022 to the Seahawks for safety Bradley McDougald, first- and third-round picks in 2021 (which could elevate up two spots) & potentially another player.
The move comes after months of speculation and fan demands that Adams be traded at last year’s trade deadline. Adams’ relationship soured with the Raiders and he requested a trade just two weeks ago.
It was a blockbuster reunion — Adams and Rodgers together again
It makes Adams and Aaron Rodgers, who snapped together in Green Bay for eight seasons to form one of the NFL’s best QB-WR tandems. Over the past 8 seasons, their combined total numbers were a stunning 622 receptions for for 7,590 yards and a whopping additional score of another DEFCON football trope I cannot find on here so lets just make it “-69- touchdowns” making them one of the most feared systematic tandems in all NFL lore from ’14-’21.
The Jets are 2-4 and might be able to make a playoff push if they can get their issues resolved offensively. The Packers will look to revive a season that is slowly becoming an uphill struggle, and reuniting one of the league’s most dynamic duos in Rodgers-Adams on Sunday should hopefully help them get back on track.
Impact on Jets Offense
However, the introduction of Davante Adams is a luxury rather than necessity in New York. New York already has good receivers in Garrett Wilson, owner of number one receiver potential, and WR Allen Lazard who received a four-year $44 million contract. Although, it may just give Adams an edge in certain high intensity situations based on that connection and chemistry he has with Rodgers.
Salary/Cut Situation
As part of the trade, freeing themselves from Adams’ contract that includes base salaries totaling $35.6 million over each of the next two seasons, to which the Jets will become responsible with their double-digit cap space opening up room for New York Perlman has reported. All of this money is not guaranteed and Adams could be cut if things go south.
From the Raiders Side: A Divorce that was Needed
The decision from the Raiders to trade Adams followed a period of increasing acrimony between player and organization. After the Raiders cut former college teammate Derek Carr at quarterback, things looked dire for their star wideout. Carr’s exit from Las Vega had a big effect on the way Adams viewed things, and it eventually resulted in him asking to get dealt.
Which Team Will He Land On Next: Landry Should Call Jets Home
No just the New York Jets that were after Adams. The Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Dallas Cowboys among other teams have top of the line wide receivers on their wish list.By locking up Adams, now the Jets limit their chances of an AFC East foe like Buffalo from snatching a big-time target.
Navigating the Jets Offense and Moving the Chains
Although the trade (deservedly) has Jets fans everywhere excited, New York is dealing with bigger issues. This has contributed to a lack of protection for Aaron Rodgers, which in the long run early on caused battles throughout the offense. While Adams makes for a convenient addition, protection still looms large as the primary focus heading forward
Conclusion: A Risky Step with Grand Ambitions
The Davante Adams reunion with Aaron Rodgers adds a new dimension to the season hope of New York Jets as they try and turn around their season following this blockbuster trade. That history between these two players suggests that bombs away and deep connections galore could be one game plan this Sunday, although only time will tell if this is a move by Gang Green to get on the winning side of things during second half football or not enough adequate firepower stop their slow march into irrelevancy.
