Trade: Davante Adams requests a trade, traded to the Jets 10/15

Wonder what the benchmarks he needs to hit are and/or if the Raiders ended up helping out with some of the money

Edit -
Schefter says there’s no financial help from LV

Great......another F.O.A

Without Reddick on the books, the Jets are fine on the cap this year, although it could make next year spicy since they've got a few guys who are gonna want to get paid including Garret Wilson.

 

[The Note]

The conductions for it to become a 2nd are, again per Schefter:
Adams is a 1st or 2nd team All Pro
On the roster for an AFCCG or Super Bowl

So that seems unlikely.

Cry a bit more Rodgers

 

[Romang67]

It seems to be a 3rd rounder, not a 4th rounder.

Did they have more than one? Pretty sure they sent a conditional 3rd to the Eagles for Reddick

As much fun as it is to make fun of the dysfunctional mess that is the New York Jets, I think this trade makes sense. The AFC is bad this year, Rodgers has chemistry with Adams that he doesn't with Mike Williams or Garrett Wilson, and they (unlike the Cowboys) are all in.

Now, will it work? Does that get them through the wild card round? Probably not. But when you're in a bus barreling toward a canyon, you might as well aim for the little ramp to try to see if you can get a little bit closer to the other side.

Oddly, that trade before the 2024 draft was for a 2026 3rd round pick. The Adam's trade is for the 2025 3rd rounder.
