Should Jets trade for Davante Adams?

Now that the regular season is over, attention has already started to turn towards what the New York Jets will be able to do to improve their team’s chances in 2024.

Talent and Production

Adams is a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, but that’s not all because of Rodgers. He’s had two 100-catch seasons since leaving the Packers and set a career-high in terms of yards per catch average in 2022. This season, he impressively caught 103 passes, even though rookie Aidan…
