The New York Jets are having a critical offseason and Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are the focal point. With Rodgers reportedly open to joining the New York Giants, speculation is growing that he’ll bring Adams—his longtime teammate and a $140 million star—with him. This could be a huge move for the Giants and give them a dynamic duo to build around.
Why Rodgers and Adams Would Head to the Giants?
Rodgers, who loves New York, is a big fan of Giants’ young receiver Malik Nabers. If Rodgers were to join the Giants, he’d likely bring Adams along, and create a stacked receiving corps.
“If this ever happens, Davante Adams part of the deal,” said Connor Hughes of SNY. “Adams not a bad complement to Nabers.”
Adams signed a five-year, 140million deal with the Jets, carries a 38 million cap hit in 2025. If the Jets can’t rework his contract, they may trade or release him, and open the door for a reunion with Rodgers in New York.
The Jets’ Problem
The Jets are in a bind. Rodgers’ future with the team is uncertain and Adams’ contract is putting pressure on them. If both leave, the Jets would have to rebuild the entire offense. But trading or releasing Adams would give them cap relief and draft capital.
What This Means for the Giants?
For the Giants, getting Rodgers and Adams would be huge. Rodgers’ experience and leadership, with Adams’ elite receiver skills would immediately make the offense better. Pairing Adams with Malik Nabers would make the Giants have one of the top receiving duos in the league.
