Davante Adams’ quick tenure with the Jets hasn’t gone the way in which the concerned events had hoped.
Sunday’s 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts dropped the Jets’ document to 1-4 since they acquired Adams in a long-anticipated commerce with the Las Vegas Raiders.
That loss proved to be the ultimate straw for basic supervisor Joe Douglas, whom the Jets fired Tuesday after falling to 3-8 general.
However Adams says he has no regrets about being traded to the Jets amid their disappointing season.
“I don’t live my life like that,” Adams mentioned Wednesday on FanDuel TV’s “Up & Adams.”
“Hindsight’s always 20/20, so you can sit here and look at it now and say, ‘Oh, I could have maybe stayed there. I would’ve been more comfortable. I wouldn’t have had to move,’ and all this stuff, but for me, it’s about going with my gut in my life. That’s how I make my decisions. I live with them.”
The Jets have been 2-4 after they traded for Adams, a six-time Professional Bowl vast receiver who spent eight seasons with quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Inexperienced Bay.
Hypothesis that the star wideout could be traded to the Jets started final 12 months, shortly after they acquired Rodgers from the Packers. However Adams remained with Vegas in 2023, recording 103 receptions and 1,144 yards regardless of a revolving door of Raiders quarterbacks.
“I don’t regret not going [to the Jets] earlier, because I really felt like I wanted to be a Raider and I wanted to really give it everything that I could to stay there and rock it out with my teammates while I was there,” Adams instructed host Kay Adams.
“And then there came a point where I realized that wasn’t where my heart was, and something needed to change, and this was the change that I wanted, and the change that I have to live with and make the most of.”
Rodgers, 40, and Adams, 31, have but to duplicate the consistency of their prior partnership on this second act. Adams has one landing by 5 video games with the Jets and has not recorded a 100-yard efficiency.
His arrival got here every week after the Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh. Douglas’ firing, in the meantime, led to hypothesis about whether or not Rodgers and Adams might be again with the staff subsequent season.
“Whether or not I’m here next year, I can’t determine that,” Adams mentioned. “I’m not really thinking about next year. I’m thinking about trying to get a few more wins before we get out of here. If you’d bet me a million dollars, I would have taken the bet we would not have only had one victory right now.”
Adams described Douglas’ firing as “surprising, but it’s not,” stating that coaches and administration are sometimes held accountable when groups are profitable.
“It’s not for me to say whether or not it’s the right thing to do or not,” Adams mentioned. “I’m just getting here and I’m still learning the way things work in this building and the way things have been in this building.”
The Jets traded a 2025 conditional third-round decide to amass Adams, who mentioned being a part of a Rodgers-led offense offers him extra hope for achievement than he felt with the Raiders.
“We’re talking about playing with Aaron Rodgers here,” Adams mentioned. “This isn’t like taking some crazy gamble.”
