Just...wow. Reports are it's a 3rd, that could become a 2nd. Given it's likely this is a rental for the rest of the season that seems pretty high. Adams cap number jumps to 35M next season, I can't see the Jets wanting to/being able to carry that number and would be surprised if Adams gave up money to stick around.

This would seem to indicate that they restructured Adams' contract to lower the cap hit for the Jets the next couple of years.

The Jets are assuming the balance of Adams' remaining salary, a source told Schefter. Adams' salary for this season is $17.5 million, with approximately $11.59 million still owed through the end of the season, according to Spotrac.com. And while he is under contract for 2025 and 2026, his annual salary jumps to $36.25 million for each of those seasons. The Raiders will carry a dead cap charge of $13.67 million in 2024, according to Spotrac.com, and $15.7 million in 2025.

There it is.

And there go the targets for the other Jets' receivers.

This is a desperation move at this point, but one that's understandable. When the Jest traded for Rodgers and signed Cobb and Lazard, they were putting all their money on the table for the chance to make a run, starting last year and probably through this year and next. The owner, Woody Johnson, is 77 years old and probably doesn't want to wait for a rebuild.

To me, it's a losing formula, but for the owner, it's a shot at what he wants, so he's rolling those dice. I'm not sure the Jets' problems can be encapsulated by "If only Aaron had his favorite reciever with him in New York!" Having watched the last year or two in GB with Rodgers, this is just more of the same, except Rodgers is two years older now.

Jester’s #2 rock catcher is Alan Fucking Lazard, a glorified TE. Adams will help their offense immensely.

Jesters-Packers in Super Bowl 59. Take it to your bookie.

That was his best game in years. He's got some good skill players around him, they could make some hay. Beating the Pats isn't a monumental accomplishment - they are in serious rebuild mode. I suspect Buffalo or Miami will pose a bigger challenge, and the NFCW games aren't gimmes.
Either way, good for him for having a good game. It makes the AFCE interesting, but as a GB fan I'm glad to be rid of Rodgers-drama.

Maybe I'm being a curmudgeon, but I also have serious doubts about his ability to play well and stay healthy once the weather turns cold (at his age).

No me gusta Rodgers but like I expected he still has something in the tank. Probably be his last season so we should root for him to win the vikings, cardinals, seahawks and rams games the jets have coming up. All potential playoff teams that Santo Eron could provide help on. So get your ayahuasca ready when you come out of the darkness.

Patler, you know I think you're great, but I think your grasp of the facts is slipping a little. It is common knowledge that Rodgers AND Fields competed in the 2023 International Ayahuasca Championship held in Bogota, Columbia. Rodgers cleaned the floor with Fields. It wasn't even close. Rodgers was trippin' outer space stuff, seeing God, surfing the galaxy, but all Fields could do is conjure up a field of summer daisies haunted by The Thin Man.

[Patler]

Kind of an interesting stat. Even Justin Fields has had a 300 yard game in his last 24 starts.

Did Erron beat him during the streak?

I'm not aware of Rodgers having beaten Fields in any competition of any sort. However, Rodgers team did beat Fields team in football.

what else do you do during a darkness retreat?

[Patler]

Rodgers now with 24 consecutive starts without 300 yards passing.

[bobblehead]

You know how I feel about him and I also was mad he got hurt. I had looked forward to following his season and will be following this one. Last night is likely the last game I root for him. He does still have the gun so you never know. Might at least contend for the last wild card.

I think they will be in the thick of it. Week 1 is a poor indicator. That wasn't the Jets defense I watched the last 2 years.
