My largest concern for Davante Adams-
How is he gonna discover a home in New Jersey with a Taco Bell inside?
Cannot be many listings like that.
Adams missed the earlier three video games for the Raiders due to a hamstring damage, however his long-term standing with the crew hovered over the scenario contemplating he told Las Vegas he needed to be traded.
From the AFC West crew’s perspective, this implies it now not has to fret concerning the financials that include the huge receiver.
Schefter reported the Raiders won’t pay any of Adams’ remaining wage. That’s all of the extra notable since he has a possible out in 2025 and is scheduled to make $35.6 million in base wage in 2025 and once more in 2026.
It would now be as much as the Jets to make any contract selections with that deal, and it could rely on how he performs the remainder of the season.
New York has not hesitated to make drastic strikes initially of this season having already fired head coach Robert Saleh. It misplaced its first sport with out the pinnacle coach Monday to fall to 2-4 general and responded by including one of the notable huge receivers within the league.
Adams performed the primary eight seasons of his profession with Rodgers on the Packers and established himself as a game-changing playmaker. He made 5 straight Professional Bowls throughout his tenure with the NFC North crew and led the league in landing receptions (18) through the 2020 marketing campaign.
He and Rodgers will now look to duplicate that success with a Jets crew that has no scarcity of offensive weapons with Garrett Wilson and Breece Corridor additionally on the roster.
That offensive group must make up some floor within the AFC playoff image following the sluggish begin, however the Adams and Rodgers mixture has confirmed unstoppable prior to now. It would have to be once more if the Jets are going to be a real risk within the postseason.
