Davante Adams lookinhttps://forums.jetnation.com/topic/164605-davante-adams-looking-for-30m-a-year/g for $30m a year

[Rhg1084]

honestly the Jets should just give it to him. 3 years $90m give him guaranteed. They have the cap room and the salary cap keeps going up every year anyway. This type of deal would take it right up to Zach’s extension. So now is the time for JD to open up the wallet 

[FidelioJet]

Absolutely.  Pay the man if we can get him here. 

[BigRy56]

It’s hard to say he isn’t worth it given how good he is

[Barry McCockinner]

pay him whatever TF he wants if he actually goes to FA

[HawkeyeJet]

I’ll put in $20

[Cut Jet Penalty Makers]

He's worth is more than 4 different position guys you could sign at that price...JD and Woody don't get that though..too rich for their blood...simple facts of life.

[T0mShane]

Nope. No. Nope

So one stadium beer

[Rhg1084]

I mean if you put Adams Moore and Davis on the field together that’s a serious problem for the defense no matter who the QB is. Heck even Darnold would put up sick numbers with that supporting cast 

[GangGreened]

Yeah I think I’ll pass on that. And so will Douglas.

[New York Mick]

There’s too many needs on this team to guarantee $90 on a WR over 3 years. 

[tfine]

30 million a year? He’s good but this isn’t Randy Moss in his prime

I mean who are we exactly paying right now? Mosley comes off the books this year and the rest of this team is compromised of rookie contracts. Now is the time to hand out a contract like this if they’re ever going to do it 

[Larz]

DeAndre Hopkins - $27.250 million.

Julio Jones - $22 million. ... 

Keenan Allen - $20 million. ... 

Amari Cooper - $20 million. ... 

Michael Thomas - $19.250 million. ...
 

 

yup it’s going to take 30, possibly more actually

You can afford to spend big money on a big time WR when you have a QB on his rookie deal. You want to give Wilson the best chance to succeed? Give him Davante Adams. This guy catches everything, runs ridiculous routes and commands double & triple coverage (and still gets open) which would open up other WR's and the run game.

We have plenty of draft capital and cap space to fill out the roster even if we're paying 30 million to Adams. 

[slimjasi]

Is he even going to hit free agency?

Packers are scheduled to be $41 million over the cap with 41 guys under contract. Chances are definitely greater than 0 he goes to FA.

[JohnnyLV]

Looking at Hopkins contract it is close to what he would get. If you can add a couple funny years and structure it right you could give him something like 5 years $165 million with $60 million guaranteed, say $30 million to sign and lower salaries first two years. Structured that way you could have Adams and Zach both signed for maybe $28 million a year which is still $12 million less than a franchise QB, so it is doable. VERY risky he is not super young so you are counting on him being the same player until like 32, which is not guaranteed. Not sure I do it but the Jets are in a position to do so and not cripple the rest of the team.

[Ron Jeremy]

If you want Wilson to develop he is the type of player you need. Pretty much all contenders have a sprinkle of super stars which are non QB across various positions. IMO this is a non brainer.

Mosley doesn’t become cuttable until next year.

The Jets eat something like $19 million in dead money if they cut Mosley this offseason.

I’d be all for Adams, I just don’t see any way that JD and Co. dish out the money to make it happen. It’s really a moot discussion.

The best any of us can really hope for is trading for a dude like Cooper and taking on his contract.

[CanadienJetsFan]

Seriously guys, he ain’t coming to the NYJ.

move on.

I hear you, but I feel like we hear this kind of stuff every year about teams and they somehow manage to get the guys they want to keep signed. 
 

I agree that sounds prohibitive - but I’ll wait until he hits FA before I get interested.

And even if he does, I doubt he comes here, anyway. A better team will make room for him.

They don't need to cut Mosely this year to afford $30 or even $35 million for Adams though.

We haven't seen JD operate in a scenario where he has a hand picked #2 overall pick going into his second year. I wouldn't put too much stock into what he's done so far - this is a different scenario.

It’s funny that dudes here think he’s coming here. 

Oh, and Patrick Mahomes is going to finagle a way to get traded to the Jets. With Arron Donald.

I've got a comment about this in relation to something happening here in Canada, but it is political and I'd get banned.  ?

Nobody “thinks” he’s coming here. I just shared a report he’s asking for $30m a year, and the Jets are one of about a handful of teams who could meet his demands. So it’s not completely out of the realm of possibilities 

[Warfish]

The Jets need difference makers.

The Jets have cap space to spend and then some.

Wilson needs to be supported to the maximum.

That is what I care about.  If it's Adams that answers these three requirements, and it costs $30 million, fine.

Don't see why he'd choose to come here, honestly, but if he will, I'll be happy to have him, regardless of the cost.

It's not my money after all, and fans don't get refunds for unspent cap space.

No one is. $30 million a year is basically what the next person to be called the highest paid WR in the game is getting. That should probably be Davante Adams.

But this is the point that frustrates me with the "no way" crowd.....

Somehow we hear how all these good teams are way over the cap - yet somehow they always keep their good players and find ways to bring in new ones...

We have no good players and are afraid about the cap.

Let's stop being scared and go out and get an elite playmaker - if he's available just go get him.

As you said, I think it's better than 0 but still unlikely he hits free agency.

Lol how many teams can shell out $30m a year to a WR right now?

Honestly didn’t know Hopkins was at 27M.  Heck, might be ok with giving Adams 30M

It’s possible, and like I said, I’d be all for it.

He’s arguably the best WR in the league and probably has at least 2-3 elite tier seasons left.

I just can’t see the powers that be going for it.

But I’d be glad to be proven wrong.
