Jets trade two 2025 third-round picks for Adams
There are about a million different ways the Jets can end up with Adams before the NFL trade deadline expires following Week 9. If teams aren’t willing to offer the Raiders a second-round pick, maybe packaging two third-round picks does the trick. The Jets happen to have an extra third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, thanks to sending Detroit their fourth-round pick this past April.

Jets trade 2026 second-round pick + 2025 sixth-round pick for Adams
If the Raiders are deadset on getting at least a second-round pick in exchange for the three-time All-Pro receiver, maybe the Jets can get by with offering their 2026 pick instead. Adding a sixth-round pick gives Vegas a slight bit of extra draft compensation entering next April, but our guess is the Raiders want a more immediate return.

Jets trade conditional 2025 second-round pick + 2026 fourth-round pick for Adams
Teams like to use “conditional” terms when attaching draft picks, especially when dealing with players who are aging and/or coming off an injury. In this case, we could see the Jets attach a conditional second-round pick that requires Adams to play a certain percentage of his team’s offensive snaps. Or possibly it’s geared around how many yards he gets in a Jets uniform in 2024, or even how far the team gets in the playoffs.

Jets send Haason Reddick + 2025 second-round pick to Las Vegas for Adams
It’s become apparent that Haason Reddick and the Jets aren’t a good match after all. Chances are the 30-year-old wants to go to a contender, but at this point he might just welcome a change of scenery and a chance to play. The Raiders would be glad to have another pass-rusher opposite Maxx Crosby, further alleviating pressure off Christian Wilkins to perform after his big payday.

New York Jets trade 2025 second-round pick + fifth-round pick for Davante Adams
The most straightforward way to get Adams to the Big Apple is for the Jets to just suck it up and pay a reasonable price. A second-round pick, plus a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft should get it done for a 31-year-old who’s seemingly calling his shot on where he wants to play next.
