“Massive Underpay”: NFL Fans Go Bonkers as Davante Adams Reunites With Aaron Rodgers

After weeks of speculation that the Jets are favorites to land Davante Adams, the rumors have finally come true. The latest reports confirm that Adams will reunite with long-time friend Aaron Rodgers in the Big Apple. What’s shocking, however, are the terms of the deal that have blown NFL fans’ minds.

Moments ago, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport broke the news that the deal between the Jets and Davante Adams is at the final stages. As per his sources, the terms of the contract are quite baffling — especially if you are a Raiders fan.

For the trade, the Men in Black are all set to get a conditional third-rounder which can bump up to a second-rounder should Davante perform well in his new home.

So, the Raiders aren’t just gifting the Jets a receiver who has 69 touchdowns and 622 completions for 7,590 yards with Aaron Rodgers, but they are getting a mere third-round pick in return.

Unless the team finds a Brock Purdy, this sounds like a terrible deal and fans were naturally stunned by this generosity. From calling the terms of the deal a “massive underpay” to simply having a laugh at the decision, the majority showed their disbelief in the comments:

One netizen, meanwhile, asserted that the Jets needed to strengthen their O-line instead of bringing in a wide receiver.

With Adams back with A-Rod, the QB has arguably filled the biggest missing piece in his arsenal. The pressure is now on the playmaker and his offense to demonstrate improvement and break the long-standing playoff drought they’ve experienced since 2011.
