Jets listening to Davante Adams trade offers after dumping Aaron Rodgers
NY Post
The Jets are hoping to catch a Hail Mary with Davante Adams.
The widespread expectation ever since the Jets decided to move on from quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been that parting ways with Adams — who forced his way to the Jets in October via trade — will be next on the new regime’s to-do list.
The easiest way to say goodbye is to cut Adams and absorb a $6.2 million dead charge on the salary cap in order to save slightly more than $32 million.
But NFL Network reported Sunday that the Jets are listening to trade offers for Adams.
It would be very surprising if any team took that bait considering that they would inherit Adams’ bloated $38.3 million salary-cap hit while surrendering draft capital.
If the Jets do not find a trade partner, the expectation remains that Adams will be released.
