Jets' Davante Adams thinks Raiders in 'better place' after blockbuster trade

The New York Jets have traded a conditional 3rd-round pick for Las Vega Raiders WR Davante Adams. Craig Carton, Danny Parkins, and Mark Schlereth react to the news and ask how much it helps the Jets and Aaron Rodgers.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams opened up about his feelings and emotions following the trade from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday.

He spoke to reporters for the first time since the trade. He was limited in the team’s walkthrough soon after the trade, but he said he expected to play after missing the last two games with the Raiders due to a hamstring injury.

"It's been a roller coaster, for sure," Adams said Wednesday. "It's a weird thing to say that I'm happy, but obviously, it was time for a change. And this whole thing kind of transpired a little weird, but at the end of the day, we're in a better place.

"I think the Raiders are in a better place, as well. And everyone can kind of move on. But it's definitely been a roller coaster — a little bit up and down and left and right here and there. But we ultimately got it done."

Adams reunited with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The two played together for years when they were both with the Green Bay Packers.

He joins an offense that appears ready to score a ton of points, but they have not crossed the goal line too often just yet.
