Jets acquire Davante Adams After Monday Night Disaster

 The New York Jets landed star wide receiver Davante Adams in a blockbuster trade with the Las Vegas Raiders in the early morning hours, Tuesday, less than 12 hours following a disheartening 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football.

The move reunites Adams with his favorite quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.

The pending Adams-Rodgers reunion has been the worst kept secret in the NFL for some time. The Jets tried to make a move for Adams last season, but the Raiders balked on a trade. The talks between the two fledging franchises heated up again this summer, and started boiling as the trade deadline neared.

According to reports, the Jets surrendered a third round pick, which could become a second rounder. Meanwhile Gang Green will assume all of Adams contract, which is no bargain. Adams is due $11 million the rest of this season, and over $36 million in each of the next two seasons. 

One would think that a reworking of the contract, or some form of out in the contract has to be included. There is no way the Jets, and whomever the GM is in 2025 whether it's Joe Douglas or someone else, will want that on the cap. 

Talent wise, yes, Adams adds something to the Jets. Even at age 32, he is still considered one of the best wide receivers in the game. And he enjoyed his best seasons with Rodgers when the two were in Green Bay. 

Meanwhile, the trade could spell the end of receiver Mike Williams, who was once again on the wrong end of a late game pass by quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In his post game news conference, Rodgers threw Williams under the bus when he explained that the receiver ran the wrong route. 

Rodgers was picked off on the final play when Williams tried to come back to the ball and slipped. It marked the second straight game where Rodgers targeted Williams only to have the pass picked off.

Haason Reddick

The Haason Reddick situation took another strange twist on Tuesday, when Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that the Jets had granted Reddick and his new representation the ability to seek a trade. 

Reddick was dropped by CAA, his previous agency because of the ongoing holdout. Reddick in turn linked up with Drew Rosenhaus in recent days. Rosenhaus' camp initially put word out that Reddick was looking forward to staying a Jet for "years to come." 

We shall see where this goes. Reddick is the only holdout remaining and we are a third of the way through the season. He's been a holdout since last April.
