Adam Schefter adds the Jets are giving up a conditional third-round pick that can improve to a second-round selection based on Adamsโ€™ performance. The veteran receiver must satisfy any one of the following conditions:

  • First or second-team AP All-Pro
  • On the active roster for the AFC championship or Super Bowl

The Jets are also taking on the remainder of Adamsโ€™ salary, which was one of the Raidersโ€™ other sticking points in a deal. 

It took a couple of weeks, but the two sides finally figured out something that made sense for everyone, reuniting Adams with longtime QB Aaron Rodgers in New York. 

There might have been a little more urgency from the Jets as well after losing to the Bills last night to fall to 2-4. 

Adams, 31, is a former second-round pick out of Fresno State by the Packers in the 2014 NFL Draft. He was in the final year of a four-year, $3.933 million rookie contract when the Packers signed him to a four-year extension worth $58 million.

Adams made a base salary of $12 million for the 2021 season and was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2022 when the Packers used the franchise tag on him at a figure of $20.2 million. He was then traded to the Raiders for a first and second-round draft pick in 2022.

The Raiders also signed Adams to a five-year, $140 million contract as a part of the trade, including nearly $66 million guaranteed. Heโ€™s due base salaries of $16.89 million and $35.64 million over the next two seasons. 

In 2024, Adams has appeared in three games and recorded 18 receptions for 209 yards (11.6 YPC) and one touchdown. 

Weโ€™ll have more on the trade as the news is available.
