Player movement is starting to pick up ahead of the Tuesday, Nov. 5 trade deadline, especially for wide receivers. With three weeks left to go, it was an eventful day for the participants of Monday night’s game between the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets. Davante Adams and Amari Cooper have new football homes.
Davante Adams
The trade request Adams made two weeks ago has been granted. The Las Vegas Raiders dealt Adams to the New York Jets, his preferred destination, for a conditional 2025 third-round pick. It becomes a 2025 second-round pick with Adams being named first or second team All-Pro by the Associated Press, or the Jets playing in the AFC Championship game or Super Bowl while Adams is on the active roster for that contest.
Adams missing the last three games because of a hamstring injury makes it more difficult to earn All-Pro honors. The Jets haven’t played for the AFC title since the 2010 season, which was the last time the playoffs were made.
The Jets are going “all in” to try to salvage a 2024 season off to a 2-4 start with the acquisition of the three-time first team All-Pro. Adams reunites with Aaron Rodgers, who was his quarterback during his eight seasons playing for the Green Bay Packers (2014 through 2021).
The Raiders didn’t get their initial asking price of a second-round pick and an additional asset for Adams. The other condition to part ways with Adams was met. The Raiders were adamant about not converting some portion of Adams’ 2024 salary into signing bonus prior to the trade to make it easier for the acquiring team to absorb his contract.
The Jets are assuming the remaining $11.59 million of Adams’ 2024 compensation. The $11.59 million consists of 12/18ths of Adams’ $16.89 million base salary ($11.26 million) and 11 games worth of his $510,000 of roster bonuses in which he gets $30,000 for each game that he is active ($330,000).
