greenwichjetfan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 This makes sense from Davante's standpoint. If Aaron won't be the QB there anymore, he shouldn't waste his prime years. Better to become a FA, choose where to go, and still get paid. He and Carr are supposedly best friends, and Carr has been pushing for him for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe in spending $$$ on 1 big name WR and I do believe in building a WR corp through the draft. All that said, there are few other players that I could see come in and truly make a big difference on Zach's career arc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETSALLDAY24X Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Has Joe Douglas given yall any indication he's going to give up premium picks for a receiver? Get this this thought out of your heads. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jetstream23 Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 JD just signed Corey Davis to a big contract, he negotiated to keep Jamison Crowder here for another year, he has used two 2nd round picks on wide receivers in two years. I don’t think he’s going to throw a bag of money and picks at a Davante Adams trade. Now, if this discussion were happening around free agency time prior to the signing of Davis, maybe something happens. But not now. Adding Adams at the tippy top of the wide receiver depth chart pushes everybody down. It means guys like Mims won’t see the field much, and I just get the feeling JD wants to develop some of these younger guys here. If the Jets were a win-now team with a wide receiver problem then this move would make sense. Not now. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JoJoTownsell1 Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 It's funny how the Jets would do anything to have a Rodgers/Adams and would likely pay them whatever they want, but the Packers management are acting as if finding guys like that are easy because they got lucky twice with Favre and Rodgers. Can't wait to see Jordan Love passing to Allen Lazard and the packers going 4-12. 2 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't. 13.25 in cash this year. He's in the last year of his deal, talking extension. They let him hit FA, he'll get over 20M, either on the market or on a franchise tag. I think if you were being paid 7M less than you could get, or about 60% of your market, you'd probably be pissed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets were a win-now team with a wide receiver problem then this move would make sense. Not now. Agreed. The time to acquire Davante Adams was in 2014. With the 17th pick in the second round, Adams was on the board (along with Allen Robinson and Jarvis Landry), we needed a pass catcher, and we took Jace Amaro. Adams went 4 picks later to the Packers. 20/20 hindsight, I know. But now is not the time to give up picks and $$$ to acquire him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embrace the Suck Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 No thanks. We don't need a big name with a big contract that costs multiple picks. Wr is very much a money ball position these days. How often were the jets beat by the rb, te, or 3rd wr when revis was blanketing the opposing team's best wr? I would say the Jets will be on the rise the next two years, but will really peak and be ready for a real run as Adams turns 30+. Those resources are better spent getting multiple young guys who will contribute beyond the next year or two. I think the Jets could have a winning record this year, but I wouldn't swing for the fences though by mortgaging the future on a long shot that the Jets will get to the playoffs and make a run this year.

Defense Wins Championships Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Sorry Denzel Mims but we've got Zach Wilson on the line here. Offer them our 1st and our 2nd + Jamison Crowder (we'd still have Seattle's 1st and Carolinas 2nd). WR #1: Davante Adams. WR #2: Corey Davis. Slot: Elijah Moore. WR #4: Denzel Mims. This automatically becomes the NFL's most talented WR core. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a lot easier to groom a rookie QB when you have a security blanket WR like Adams and grooming Wilson is the most important thing for this franchise. Whether Mims ever develops is irrelevant if Wilson doesn't. If Wilson develops, Mims won't matter much either way. We would have one of the best WR groups in the NFL and a Shanahan running game with a high potential o-line if we did this. THAT is how you support a young QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also recorded 18 receptions for 133 receiving yards and 2 TDs during his two playoff games despite being double teamed. Actually? I'll give them one 1st, both of our 2nd round picks and also Jamison Crowder in return of the NFL's most dominant outside WR who's still only 28 years of age. He's too dominant to pass up and I'm tired of NE getting Randy Moss, Buffalo getting Diggs and Tampa Bay paying $100,000,000 to win a SB right in front of my face down here in Florida and Adams would make all 3 of Corey Davis/Elijah Moore/Denzel Mims 10x better and more importantly would give Zach Wilson an immediate HOF weapon in HIS PRIME! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many ways that can work out. Maybe Adams comes here with an ego demands the ball at all times and screws up Wilson's development. Meanwhile Mims wasn't bad last year and showed a lot of good stuff when he was on the field. He could very easily blossom into a big time WR this year, but not if he doesn't get reps. I also understand Mims could be a slug, I doubt it, and that Adams could help the team as a mentor (wrs) and solid target (Z man). It could go either way easily, but I doubt Adams would come here if he can go to an established team ready to go deep into the playoffs. Does he have a trade clause in his contract? Even if he doesn't players have a lot more say where they go these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
