The Jets acquired Adams (hamstring) from the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a 2025 conditional third-round draft pick.
The two teams came to terms on the trade earlier Tuesday, but the deal wasn't officially announced until the star wideout arrived in New York and passed a physical. The Jets evidently aren't too concerned about the hamstring injury that kept Adams sidelined for the Raiders' last three games, and the team believes he will be ready to make his debut this Sunday in Pittsburgh, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv. Adams will benefit from an upgrade in quarterback play, going from Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell in Las Vegas to Aaron Rodgers in New York, but he'll face stiffer competition for targets as he joins Garrett Wilson and former Packers teammate Allen Lazard in the Jets receiver room. Adams' prior experience working with Rodgers in their eight seasons together in Green Bay could give him the inside track to emerge as the 1A option between he and Wilson, however, with Lazard bumped down to the No. 3 role. Adams has approximately $11.6 million remaining on his contract for 2024 and is due $36.25 million over the next two years, but that latter amount is non-guaranteed and could be re-worked if the Jets want to keep him in the fold beyond this season.
