According to NFL.com, the Jets are the current No. 10 seed in the AFC and have a 55% chance of making the playoffs. The Jets had a 2-4 record in the 2024 season, beating the Tennessee Titans and New England Patriots but losing to the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills.
How did Davante Adams perform in Las Vegas?
The Green Bay Packers traded Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders on March 18, 2022, in exchange for their 2022 first-round draft pick and a second-round pick. Soon after, Adams inked a five-year, $140 million extension.
By joining the Raiders, Adams got the chance to play with his Fresno State University quarterback and friend, Derek Carr. However, Carr was cut loose at the end of the 2022 season due to front-office reasons.
Davante Adams ended up playing 37 games for the Las Vegas Raiders. He amassed a stat line of 221 catches, 2,869 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns. His streak of six consecutive Pro Bowl appearances ended in 2023.
It's expected that Adams will add a new dimension to the New York Jets offense. He'll form one of the most dynamic wide receiver duos in the NFL alongside Garrett Wilson. The pair will be tasked with catching touchdown passes from Aaron Rodgers as they look to turn around their season and potentially make the playoffs for the first time in the Rodgers era.
