    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.

    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.

    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?

      Does he have a no trade clause? Because if not it literally doesn’t matter

      Also I doubt he’s thrilled to have AOC as his QB. Idk what this sub sees in that guy but I don’t see it.

        Not gonna sit here and listen to Car Ramrod disrespect. That man played the Jets D harder than the league’s top QBs. You thought 20 years of Brady was bad? Prepare yourself for 30 years of AOC and the squad.

      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.

    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.

      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

          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

      Their receivers after Wilson are incredibly unimpressive.

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

        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.

    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.

      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

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

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

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

      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.

        Yeah all you have to do draft quality o linemen, sign cheap upgrades for the oline who outplay their contracts, AND draft a rookie wr who will contribute as a #2 immediately. It’s that easy
