Davante Adams Another Randy Moss?

 

Breaking news today Davante Adams was traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New York Jets for a 2025 third round draft pick. That pick can become a second round pick if Adams becomes a first or second team All-Pro. This decision has finally ended after Adams and Antonio Pierce the Raiders Head Coach have seemed to be at each others throats over a lot of things. 

Adams joined the Las Vegas Raiders March 18th 2022 from the Green Bay Packers. He was given a salary of $141.25M for 5 years. Adams was happy to be on the Raiders at the time because he was brought in for Derek Carr. Adams and Carr both played for Fresno State.

March 6th 2023 Carr was traded to the New Orleans Saints. And though Adams had the social mentality of "We're the Raiders, Just Win Baby!" he was really ready to leave as the only reason he even went with the Raiders was for Carr. 

Now with this trade to the Jets, Adams will be back with Aaron Rodgers. Will the two be able to turn the Jets around? Will they be able to connect like they did in Green Bay? So many questions that will be answered soon.

This reminds me of Randy Moss. The Raiders traded for Moss in March and while for a short bit it looked promising it fell apart quick. By the end of 2006 Moss was interviewed about all of his dropped passes and he said "maybe it is because I am unhappy here!" Moss then gets traded to the New England Patriots and did very well there. Rodgers isn't Tom Brady and Adams isn't Moss. EV Sports, The Written Game! Eddie Venom.

Game one and two had over 65,000 while games 3-5 had just under 35,000. The would meet again in 1947. One of the big differences this time was it went all 7 games.
