    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.

    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

    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 feel like this has Woody’s hand on it. Same thing with Woody lobbying to get Rodgers. He probably wants Adams to pair up with Rodgers next season.

    RIP cap space.

      rip everything. the worst thing that can come out of this is a roster that gets incredibly thin after rodgers and his posse leave without anyone in the wings, saleh and douglas get extended if we even make a wildcard spot, and we’re hoping the people in charge can succeed without having a rodgers bail them out again

        Why don’t we just see what they do first haha J think we could get Adams and fix Oline but this is just a Schefter report means nothing rn let’s see how it plays out for all we know in the off-season Davantes gonna be demanding a trade and we can get him for a third and next years second and still draft Oline, As much as people are low on JD rn he’s done pretty well with trades overall since he’s been here

          Let me be clear. You are not getting him for a second and third. His dead cap hit to us is huge, again, you are not getting him for less than a first rounder minimum.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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

      Dude they already invested in rodgers and he says he’s coming back what should they do, trade players for draft picks so were set for the rebuild when he retires? We were always gonna go all in next year for 1-2 more years with AR at the helm the injury sucks but we can get Adams and another Olineman or two and then see what happens

      I think Zach Wilson is a bad QB. Let’s just get that out of the way. He’s bad and not an NFL caliber QB.

      I find it hard to believe anyone would have sustained success on the Jets with that line, the bad receivers and playcalling. They would probably grab a Wildcard but I think they would get bounced quickly

      They’re behaving like a team that is one player away when they need half the offense and coaching overhauled.

    Even if the Raiders were to trade him they’d still be on the hook for his $25 million cap hit. Which doesn’t sound like something the Raiders would want to do unless the Jets attach like their next 2 FRP’s to it

    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.

      At least pay lip service to getting better protection for Rodgers. Even if he fully recovers the current line got him killed in 4 plays.

    I feel like this story is leaked by Jets PR…they already asking for season ticket holders to pay for next season and I’m sure based on the product so far this year there’s been hesitation from many holders…

    Yeah I don’t believe this rumor at all. The Raiders gave up a 1st and 2nd to get him and have paid him a lot of money. They still owe him a lot more. They aren’t going to trade him.
