Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers thrilled to be reunited on Jets - ESPN

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Wide receiver Davante Adams and quarterback Aaron Rodgers sat next to each other in the New York Jets' team meeting Wednesday. At one point, Rodgers turned to Adams and said, «How crazy is this?»

The former Green Bay Packers teammates are thrilled to be reunited, with Adams saying the Jets were his No. 1 choice after he requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders after two-plus seasons.

«It's been a roller coaster, for sure,» said Adams, who will make his Jets debut Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. «It's a weird thing to say that I'm happy, but, obviously, it was time for a change.

»This whole thing kind of transpired a little weird, but at the end of the day, we're in a better place. I think that the Raiders are in a better place as well, and everybody can kind of move on."

Adams was traded Tuesday for a conditional 2025 third-round pick. He arrived at the Jets' facility Tuesday morning and is staying at Rodgers' house until he gets settled. They've already watched game film of themselves from a decade ago, and Rodgers is helping Adams with the playbook and updating him on his elaborate hand-signal system.

«Obviously, having him as my quarterback again, he's part of why I am who I am, and why I turned into the player I am,» Adams said of Rodgers, his quarterback from 2014 to 2021.

The Jets (2-4), losers of three straight, traded for Adams because they felt the offense needed another playmaker on the perimeter. They believe it will balance the attack and create fewer double-teams for Garrett Wilson. It also likely means a reduced role for Mike Williams, whose future appears uncertain.

Williams didn't practice Wednesday because of a personal reason, according to the team's injury report.
