Davante Adams agreed to join Jets under this condition from Aaron Rodgers

The New York Jets’ acquisition of Davante Adams a month ago should provide a jolt to an offense that still needed a viable pass catcher (who happened to have an established Aaron Rodgers connection) to steady a season that was quickly sinking.

Instead, Adams’ time in New York has aligned with a disastrous stretch that has put the two friends’ status into question for 2025 — despite the wide receiver’s best wishes.

Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports reported this on SundayAdams approved a trade to New York from the Las Vegas Raiders “on the condition that Rodgers stay through 2025.”

The Jets’ most recent loss was perhaps Rodgers’ worst in a Jets uniform 31-6 embarrassment which dropped them to 3-7. The rhythm between Rodgers and Adams — two players who had an elite relationship in Green Bay from 2014 to 2021 — was inconsistent. Through four games, Adams has 20 catches on 39 targets for 206 yards and a touchdown. New York gave Las Vegas a conditional third-round pick in 2025 that could become a second-round pick if Adams achieves some lofty performance clauses.

The bigger questions have shifted from whether the two veterans have anything left in the tank to whether they will even be on the roster in 2025, as the Jets head into another playoff-less offseason and one that could result in the removal of important pieces everywhere. the organization.

Over The Cap shows that cutting Rodgers ($49 million in dead money) And Adams ($8 million in dead money) would be costly, but letting go of Rodgers would signal a total franchise overhaul, which seems necessary at this point.

Rodgers has completed 62.4% of his passes for 2,258 yards, 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

The Jets will try to tell the media and their fans that the season is not over yet as they face the 4-6 Joe Flacco-led Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
