The factors Jets need to consider before a potential Davante Adams trade
NY Post
This is the point where, if this were any feel-good movie, the Jets would make a grand gesture and reunite the pair that never should’ve broken up.
Except the Jets are giving off more of a soap opera vibe, and it is no guarantee that dealing for trade-seeking Raiders receiver Davante Adams to pair with Aaron Rodgers will make things better. Or as good as they were when those two formed a lethal connection with the Packers.
Adams has the Jets and Saints — where his former college and NFL teammate Derek Carr is slinging the ball — atop his wish list, and the Jets, Cowboys, Bills and Steelers have checked in with the Raiders, according to various reports.
Teams in the trade market are convinced that Adams is trying to engineer his way to the Jets, per Sports Illustrated.
“You’re always going to look at ways to help the roster get better, whether it’s utilizing the guys who are here and moving them to different spots on the field,” Jets head coach Robert Saleh said before Wednesday’s practice. “We’re always going to figure out the best way to use our players.”
Saleh was careful not to break the NFL’s tampering rules, but here are the pros and cons of the Jets meeting the reported Raiders asking price of a second-round draft pick plus more to acquire Adams:
