Related: About this forumAaron Rodgers gets his old buddy back. Davante Adams heading to the Jets
Determined to save their season from ruin and preserve their hopes of ending a half-century Super Bowl drought, the New York Jets are finalizing a blockbuster trade for star wide receiver Davante Adams, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
The Las Vegas Raiders will receive a conditional third-round draft pick that could improve to a second-round selection, sources told Schefter. For the pick to improve to a second-rounder, Adams must be a first- or second-team All-Pro this season or be on the Jets' active roster for the AFC Championship Game or Super Bowl, the sources said.
Adams took a red-eye into New Jersey early Tuesday morning with the deal basically in place and is taking a physical to finalize the trade, a source told Schefter.
The Jets are assuming the balance of Adams' remaining salary, a source told Schefter. Adams' salary for this season is $17.5 million, with approximately $11.59 million still owed through the end of the season. And while he is under contract for 2025 and 2026, his annual salary jumps to $36.25 million for each of those seasons. The Raiders will carry a dead cap charge of $13.67 million in 2024, according to Spotrac.com, and $15.7 million in 2025.

Rodgers is 40 and has a lot of injuries.
They can go to rehab together.

...it isn't going to matter. Aaron Rodgers is a jerk; he always has been. Now he's an over-the-hill jerk behind a suspect offensive line.
I feel sorry for Jets fans. They're going nowhere.
