On October 15th, Davante Adams was traded to the New York Jets for a third round pick. This is a crazy trade because Davante Adams is worth way more also now he is partnered up with his old quarterback Aaron Rodgers. People were talking about this trade but everyone thought he was gonna go to the Steelers then last minute he went to the Jets and shocked everyone.
Davante Adams was drafted by the Packers in 2014 his quarterback was Aaron Rodgers and they were an unstoppable duo they led the league and went to the NFC Championship in 2020 and 2021 sadly coming up short and losing. When Davante Adams was on the Packers he had his best season with 123 catches and 1553 total yards. Davante Adams was traded after his best season to the Las Vegas Raiders he had a good season with them in 2022 but, he was always talking about how he didn’t like their quarterback at the time and how he was constantly getting hurt because of the bad balls that were being thrown to him. In the 2024 season before he got traded he had 18 receptions with 209 yards but got a hamstring injury the week before he was traded. The Jets aren’t looking too good this year they are 3-6 so hopefully with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams reuniting they can get the Jets offense rolling.
Just hours before the trade happens Aaron Rodgers was on the Pat McAfee show talking about the trade and Davante Adams pops up in the frame that just shows how they have a good friendship and hopefully Davante Adams can keep playing well and being the number 1 receiver in the league. I personally think that this Jets team is gonna be a lot better with Davante Adams because now Aaron Rodgers has a better receiver to throw to and they already have a good connection.
Davante Adams didn’t even affect the offense for the Jets in the past two games he has only 7 receptions and 84 yards and zero touchdowns. He didn’t even really affect their offense. He finally had a breakout game on Thursday night football on october 31 he finally got the targets he needed. He had 7 receptions with 1 touchdown and 91 total yards. I think the Jets offense just needs to figure out how to get him the ball and they should start winning some more games.
