If we move Kupp to get Davante, I'd rather just keep Kupp (I think?)..

Would definitely be interested in Adams if he gets cut and the money is right. We could use a vet in the WR room with Kupp gone, and they're similar players in that they are both older formerly absolute elite WRs that are no longer what they once were but can still contribute. Adams probably is better at this point becuase of he isn't always missing games with injury / playing less effectively often times due to battling through injury when he does suit up. I wouldn't want to trade for him. Leave that contract alone. No real point to trading Kupp's contract or releasing him if we cannot find a trade partner just to take on Adams' contract via trade.

Yeah with a base pay of $35 million in 25 and 26 fuck Adams especially with that contract.
They are suspecting he will be cut. I'm assuming that changes what he'll get on the open market. Guess we'll see how that goes if and when it happens.

Unlike Kupp, releasing Adams makes a ton of sense for cap relief.

Adams has an insane $38M cap hit in 2025 but the Jets will save almost $30M with a pre-June release.

I'm surprised I remembered. Usually I can remember 30 years ago like it was yesterday. I just can't remember yesterday like it was yesterday. :sleepy:
As much as I stuff my face while watching TV, I'm surprised I didn't remember. The mind is a crazy yet wonderful thing. I have this super power of tuning my wife's nagging out from time to time. Makes me love her more hahaha

If Davante Adams wants to take a huge pay cut to about what Demarcus Robinson made this year ($5 million ish) than I'd take him to play in the same role Robinson did this year. That's an upgrade. But he's not a #1 anymore.

I feel like Adams is about to start that career phase where he starts to miss games with injury and bounces between disappearing and occasionally making a few plays.
Not interested.

I feel like FA will go towards finishing the defense.

We’re going to get a very heavy offense/skill position draft this year. That’s the way to go IMO.

Revisit bringing in a veteran at the trade deadline this fall.
