Apparently, the last straw to set the trade in motion was yet another loss for Gang Green, this time with interim HC Jeff Ulbrich at the controls. Since Rodgers landed in New York ahead of the 2023 season, rumors have swirled about him and his former WR1 in Adams reuniting in the Big Apple – and with the Raiders staring down the barrel of another lost season with no viable starter at QB, they’ve decided to cut their losses and ship their star WR1 to the Jets. Adams enters a WR room that is extremely crowded, though it’s likely to become slightly less cramped as veteran WR Mike Williams is expected to test the trade market in response to New York’s acquisition of Rodgers’ old friend. Wilson and Adams will effectively operate as a WR1a and WR1b tandem for Rodgers, with Allen Lazard looking like a potential odd man out in the receiving rotation. If Adams’ arrival in New York doesn’t render Lazard obsolete, there’s no telling what will. Both Wilson and Adams can be treated as WR2 plays with every-week WR1 upside for the time being. As for the fallout in Las Vegas, WR Jakobi Meyers receives an upgrade, while TE Brock Bowers should be locked in for an elite target share as the premier weapon in the Raiders' passing offense. The upside is nearly non-existent for the Raiders' offense overall, but targets alone will be enough for Bowers to get it done as a top-5 tight end this season. His floor is even more secure than it was before with Adams in the lineup.
