Adams missed the past few games with a hamstring injury, sitting out for the Raiders as they were seeking a trade partner. He now joins a Jets team that is still in the AFC East race despite a loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football.
It was clear that the Jets needed to add some more offense around Aaron Rodgers.
Adams time in Las Vegas was only three seasons and for what the Raiders gave up, it can be considered a disappointment. The wide receiver wanted to play with his college quarterback Derek Car. But that lasted one year after Carr was traded to the New Orleans Saints.
Davante Adams finishes his Raiders career with 221 receptions for 2,869 yards and 23 touchdowns.
Adams reunites with Aaron Rodgers
By heading to New York, Adams reunites with his former quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two spent eight seasons together in Green Bay and when trade rumors swirled regarding Davante Adams, there was an easy connection due to their friendship.
Adams caught 669 passes for 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns in his eight seasons with Green Bay. The two will now look to rekindle that connection and help get the Jets on track.
