Davante Adams reunites with Aaron Rodgers as Jets acquire star receiver from Raiders

LA Times  

They connected for more than 600 completions and 7,500 yards in eight seasons in Green Bay. “We’re back, man,” Adams said during Rodgers’ weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “Obviously, I’m really excited,” Rodgers said. Employing the future first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback hasn’t moved the needle — the Jets have scored 113 points, the same number they scored through six games last season with beleaguered Zach Wilson under center. The Raiders, who will receive a third-round draft pick that can become a second-round pick if Adams is either a first- or second-team All-Pro this season or on the active roster for the AFC championship game or Super Bowl, were not interested in moving the star receiver despite consistent overtures from Jets general manager Joe Douglas until Adams asked to be traded two weeks ago. Issues between Adams and the Raiders had been festering since last season when he said on a Netflix documentary that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was going to get him killed.
