Meaning, they convert a chunk of the remaining salary into a bonus to eat in future years. Adams will get his full $24 mill he was slated to get this year.
All they need to do is push it off until Rodgers retires. Then they're in a full tear down anyway so who cares about the cap.Meaning, they convert a chunk of the remaining salary into a bonus to eat in future years. Adams will get his full $24 mill he was slated to get this year.
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.
He was really good with Wilson last week. That was the first time I felt like they were on the same page.Clown franchise
He's been really good with Wilson the last 2 weeks.....?
Did they have more than one? Pretty sure they sent a conditional 3rd to the Eagles for Reddick

The rest of the contract is not guaranteed. So they can walk away if they can’t agree on a restructured deal. But, if they cut him then he won’t be part of any compensatory pick calculation. Whereas Cooper to Buffalo can as he’s in the final year of his deal.I shouldn't be surprised but I really don't understand the hysteria.....all they gave up a 3rd round pick and his contract isn't going to hamstring the organization in the future.
The Jets are (should be) a better team on paper today than they were yesterday, like wtf do you want them to do...not try and get better.
Must be the Aaron Rodgers effect
