Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams and the Jets all got their wish, and now the pressure really is on to make big things happen.
Adams was traded from the Raiders to the Jets, according to NFL Network, and reunited with his longtime quarterback Rodgers, who has imported many of his friends over the last two seasons but none with a chance to make a bigger impact.
But there was no keeping apart Rodgers and Adams, both of whom seemed to regret separating in the first place. The connection resulted in 622 receptions for 7,590 yards and 69 touchdowns when they were Packers teammates. Adams also made sense for the receiver-needy Bills, Chiefs, Cowboys, Commanders and Steelers, too. The trade accomplishes keeping Adams away from the AFC East rival Bills and not making a potential path through the AFC playoffs even harder if he joined the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs.
Lazard and demoted offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett are with the Jets primarily because of their ties to Rodgers. He also swayed the team toward adding offensive tackle Billy Taylor and receiver Randall Cobb last season, when the whole Packers East experiment blew up because Rodgers tore his Achilles in the season-opener.
