Just one week after the New York Jets made a change at coach, firing Robert Saleh five games into his fourth season, New York made a second significant move, acquiring wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday.
The Raiders received a conditional third-round pick that can become a second-round pick based on Adams’ performance, league sources said. Specifically, the conditional third rounder becomes a second rounder if Adams makes first-team or second-team All-Pro, or if Adams is on the active roster for the AFC Championship Game or the Super Bowl, according to a league source.
The move reunites Adams with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two formed one of the last decade’s most prolific quarterback-wide receiver duos while playing for the Green Bay Packers. In 2014 as a rookie, Adams caught Rodgers’ 200th touchdown pass. In 2020, he caught Rodgers’ 400th touchdown pass. Over eight years with the Packers, they connected on 67 other touchdowns and 622 completions for 7,590 yards in 108 games.
