Its a $25 million cap hit if the raiders trade him.

Its not happening. Why do people insist on ignoring this lol

[–] eddie2911@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

2 first round pick or GTFO. It’s not financially feasible for us to just trade him for anything less than a bounty and having Davante is a huge asset for our young QB, whether that’s Aidan or a drafted rookie.

[–] chimboslice18@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They would have to send the Raiders over like $40 million on top of a haul of draft picks/young players for this to even be considered. If the Raiders trade Adams they take a huge dead cap hit for him. No way the Raiders are going to take the dead cap number and only get like a 2nd rounder. I’m dumbfounded that this narrative keeps getting put out there. HE’S NOT GETTING TRADED

[–] PlumbStraightLevel@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Eh they're just trying to give Jet fan some hope.

[–] The_Nanu_Bunta@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I bet they’ll keep Zach Wilson too and if something happens that they need to turn to him again they’ll say “how could this have happened.”

[–] BrandoCalrissian1995@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Cuz lack of weapons is why the jets suck right? I swear they're TRYING to lose if they do this without addressing the o line first.

[–] mr34mj23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

In fairness their oline has been ravaged by injuries….they haven’t had the same oline play back to back games since week 4….the only starters out there are Becton and Tomlinson and in some cases they have been down to 3rd string or PS players

[–] NYJetLegendEdReed@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Easier to ignore facts when it’s about the Jets

[–] 0fficerGeorgeGreen@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Since week 4? Was the online not allowing tons of pressure before this?

[–] mr34mj23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I’ve seen the article…I guess I’m relying on the eye test after watching every game…I think the context of this being Rodgers offense and not using a lot motion so he can make his own presnap adjustment has something to do w those numbers…also I can say w 100% certainty that losing AVT in back to back years has been a crusher for the Oline and his presence greatly influences the overall result more than any other player on that line

[–] AssinineAssassin@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Their receivers after Wilson are incredibly unimpressive.

…that said, Allen Lazard will now cook the Bills for 140 and 2 TDs.

[–] Bennyandthejets2022@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I don’t remember the last game we scored a TD lol. 2 would be like a 1000% increase.

[–] 0fficerGeorgeGreen@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

True, but that's partly because they decided to bring in Allen Lazard and the corpse of Randall Cobb to appease Rodgers rather than actually try and get adequate backups.

I think they should bolster the on-line and find a complimentary #2 to Garrett Wilson than overpay for a 32 year old Davante.

[–] audiotech14@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Cobb was supposed to be the #5 WR, but Davis randomly retired and Hardman was terrible.

[–] Blutarg@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

That's what they need. That's the position they need to upgrade. Sure.

[–] SoulReaper12@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Outside of Garrett Wilson, the Jets WR room isn't good. Now I don't know if they need to make a big splash for Adams, but they definitely need a second WR.

[–] bigwoaf@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Dude right?? Give Garrett Wilson an NFL-caliber QB with decent protection and I truly think he’s putting up Justin Jefferson/Jamar Chase/AJ Brown numbers.

[–] Better_Ad_9023@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

it sucks that this franchise is so starved for success that we'll chalk up this catastrophe of a season as a mulligan and try again with an older, injured rodgers, a coaching staff that doesn't work at all, and a roster that looks worse offensively than just about everyone else.

the hope was that we were a quarterback away, but it's clear that that means "hall of fame quarterback playing at an mvp level" if we want to do anything besides being the worst offense in the league

[–] outrageousaegis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

that kool aid didnt work too hot did it?

relax dude, jets will be fine lol. coming from a pats fan.

Imagine Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have a smooth recovery and Devante goes from the Raiders to Zach Wilson. I don’t know why people assume Rodgers will be fine. He’s been hurt a significant part of the season the past several years.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but if the Jets give up much, seems like it might be something that could go wrong fast. Davante will be 32 next year. The fall off for elite WRs tends to be sudden and steep. The OL will be bad and Rodgers will be 41 coming off a torn Achilles. Feels like this year was their year, it got sunk, and now they’re chasing with dumb money.

[–] Barbarossa_25@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I mean Davante can very much be a Larry Fitzgerald type and play way into his 30s just on his football IQ and athleticism.

[–] B_r_a_n_d_o_n@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

seems like it might be something that could go wrong fast

Of course it can go wrong. Three Adams, Cobb, Lazard = retirement home of old packer WRs

[–] MadDog1981@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Unpopular opinion. Trading for Rodgers was stupid to begin with. It gave them an incredibly small window and they have a lot of offensive issues. Trading for Adams is going to be yet another 1 player away move. It's just doubling down on the Rodgers decision. I think this was clearly the year if it was going to work.

[–] 0fficerGeorgeGreen@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I agree. Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall look like they could be stars. Fix the oline and get a real #2 receiver who isn't just some guy Rodgers played with before.

I have no idea how they make the draft capital work to grab him and at least 2 o linemen, but I love this. GW17 needs someone else out there who can catch a ball and make a play.

Who is going to wear 17?

[–] DanCampbell89@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

When you have the chance to exactly replicate the championship run of the 2014-2021 Packers except much older and slower, you absolutely have to do it

[–] atreyus_ghost@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why even have a GM at this point, why not just admit publicly that Aaron Rodgers is running your team? I get that the WR's they have after Wilson aren't great, but the O line is also terrible, maybe focus on that with your really old QB coming off a torn Achilles.

[–] Impossibills@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I know they want to load up for one last chance, but I think this is just one step too far

Huge contract, getting old for a receiver, and gonna cost a big draft pick. They are going to lose our on signing some of their core guys or be in cap hell with no QB in a year, and no assets to recover.

[–] outrageousaegis@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

they have nothing to lose. “core guys” dont matter without an elite qb/wr

[–] Kenny_Heisman@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

maybe I'm crazy but I feel like this move would make perfect sense. the team needs to go all-in the next year or two while Rodgers is still playing. and if he does retire soon then having a great wr corps is exactly what we'd need for whatever rookie qb we bring in to replace him. this is exactly what we need

[–] B_r_a_n_d_o_n@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He will be 32 in 2024 and fit in nicely with Cobb and Lazard. :-O

Is this being pushed by the owner, Woody Johnson.

Aaron Rodgers?

The GM?

The GM has been there 5 years. Bad online (AVT is good, maybe Tippman too?), one WR (Garret Wilson), no QB.

[–] keykey_key@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

His contract is too big of a hit for us to lose him so Jets would have to make it worthwhile. Thinking you're getting him without a first rounder is peak delusion.

[–] NerdLawyer55@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Need to pursue an offensive line

[–] NightmareRaiders@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

learn to take no for an answer >:(

[–] DonDave96@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Would it be in Davante's best interests to do it?

Isn't part of the reason he left Green Bay the uncertainty of how long Rodgers was going to keep on playing there? Isn't that basically the same situation with the Jets plus Rodgers coming back from a very serious injury?

[–] Quirky-Lawyer-3409@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

But he also went to the Raiders to play with his buddy Derek Carr and that didn't last too long.

[–] Sir_Carrington@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Isn't part of the reason he left Green Bay the uncertainty of how long Rodgers was going to keep on playing there?

That was probably 25% the case, 25% of it was the front office waffling around paying him fair value for like a full year and then 50% playing with Carr.

I don't think Adams cares about long term at this point.

[–] OG_M_Bison@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You forgot about his family living closer to Vegas too.

[–] harDhar@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Packers offered Adams more than the Raiders.

I vote yes. I'm not biased.

Adams is Tier 1 no question, but it should be mentioned that the upcoming WR is absolutely stacked and it’d probably be in the Jetes best interest to look at a R2 or R3 wideout and address the trenches first.

If you lost to the Raiders, one player ain’t gonna fix your problems.

This was 100% why Rodgers took less money coming to NY. If he was healthy, the Jets would have been much more aggressive trying to get him and the trade deadline.

[–] I_Set_3_Alarms@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Raiders please destroy the Dolphins today. Then maybe lose a bunch so Adams requests another trade?
