Saints at the top of Davante Adams’ wish list [Raiders trade Adams to Jets for conditional 3rd ; Jets paying Adams’ entire remaining salary]

[SweetT]

And the Jets have to pay his entire contract too.

Nope.

They had the cap to do it. Makes sense for them, but in the end, they will J-E-T-S in typical Jets fashion.

For a conditional 3rd rounder.

I want to know how much of the salary the Jets are taking on or if they made the trade conditional based on a new or restructured contract.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a rental for the remainder of the season considering Rodgers might well retire anyway. If that's the case, they'll cut him after the season is over and he'll be a FA at that point.

Good!
We need to be trading players for draft picks, not the other way around.
Hopefully, we'll have a new HC next year and we don't need another bloated contract to hamper a rebuild

 

[DaveXA]

And the Jets have to pay his entire contract too.

Nope.

They won't though. They'll cut him at the end of the season, so they're only on the hook for the remaining games this season. Of course they could keep him beyond this season, but that wouldn't make much sense.

 

[Saint Spud]

Good. This team has to be thinking about the future and a trade for Adams wouldn’t have been a good step in the right direction.

Yep.

I was all for it before this past weekend. But Sunday was a breaking point.

It wasn’t just the draft pick. We would’ve had to kick the can down the road on some cap stuff to make room, since LV didn’t want to pay. None of it was worth it anymore.

Good.

Jets are gonna Jets..........

Player/Coach/GM Aaron Rodgers putting in work the last 10 days.

1st he got Saleh fired.
2nd he saved his boy Hackett's job.
3rd he saved his other boy from the Raiders and got him traded to the Jets.

 

[DaveXA]

Lol, dumbarse Jets. Better them than us in that case. Looks like it's gonna be a rental and cut him after the season.

 

[longtime lurker]

Good.

As expected. These threads always deliver.

WR room was crowded before Adams trade. Who will be the odd man out, Gipson or Wilson? Maybe offer the Jets a 7th for one of them?
