He will go there and tear an ACL on the first possession
Need to pursue an offensive line
Anyone else expect this move? - Nobody
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
Easier to ignore facts when it’s about the Jets
Since week 4? Was the online not allowing tons of pressure before this?
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.
I don’t remember the last game we scored a TD lol. 2 would be like a 1000% increase.
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.
Cobb was supposed to be the #5 WR, but Davis randomly retired and Hardman was terrible.
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.
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
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.
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
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 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
they have nothing to lose. “core guys” dont matter without an elite qb/wr
If you lost to the Raiders, one player ain’t gonna fix your problems.
I think one player named Aaron Rodgers might’ve made a difference haha
not based on last year’s film
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
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.
that kool aid didnt work too hot did it?
relax dude, jets will be fine lol. coming from a pats fan.
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
Hey, I take offense at you trying to commandeer the title of worst offense in the league from us.
Raiders please destroy the Dolphins today. Then maybe lose a bunch so Adams requests another trade?
That’s what they need. That’s the position they need to upgrade. Sure.
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.
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.
He probably wants Adams to pair up with Rodgers next season.
Captain obvious strikes again
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.
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.
We don’t have a round 2 pick and I really think we’ll be drafting Oline but we’ll see how everything plays out
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
