Davante Adams Traded To The New York Jets
It’s been in the works for weeks now and it’s finally happened. The Las Vegas Raiders have let go of Davante Adams and traded him to the New York Jets. Adams will be reunited with his former quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two together were a dangerous pair back in their days with the Green Bay Packers. Despite last night’s loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night it didn’t prevent the trade from going through. And it seems to be coming at just the right time as Rodgers was not happy with receiver Mike Williams last night.
However, details of the deal were provided by NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero:
Las Vegas will receive a conditional 2025 third-round pick in exchange for Adams. The third-rounder can become a second-round pick if Adams becomes a first- or second-team All-Pro this season. Or if he’s on the active roster should the Jets make the AFC Championship Game or Super Bowl LIX.
Pelissero added that the Jets have agreed to take on the rest of Adams’ salary in order to get the deal done, per a source. Adams’ base salary is $16.89 million and he also has $510,000 in per-game active roster bonuses. The Jets will take on the prorated portion, which comes out to $11.6 million.
Adams had been suffering from a hamstring injury the past couple of weeks. Therefore, he will undergo a physical for the Jets to finalize the trade. But getting a physical is generally the usual process when a player is traded. And Rapoport reported that the injury is in a good place. But it’s good to keep in mind that he turns 32 years old in December.
Davante Adams Traded To The New York Jets
Jets owner Woody Johnson is hoping that Rodgers and Adams can rekindle the magic they had in Green Bay.
“We know that they played together,” Johnson said of the Rodgers-Adams connection. “Yeah, I mean I think anybody would be interested. He adds to the running game, he opens up everything. Particularly having that relationship with the quarterback, it’s very important.”
They played together from 2014 to 2021. During that time they put up 7,517 yards and 68 touchdowns. They really put on a show from 2018 to 2021 where the duo ranked first in the NFL in receptions (425), receiving yards (5,257) and receiving touchdowns (47). Can they do something similar again in New York? Will the pairing help to turn around the Jets losing season? All we can do is wait and watch.
