Twenty years ago, Aaron Rodgers entered the NFL and built a legacy playing alongside legends like Brett Favre and facing off against stars like Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, and Peyton Manning.
Despite his continued presence as a top-tier quarterback, Rodgers' current stint with the New York Jets is far from ideal. After several consecutive losses, the pressure is mounting, and critics are pointing fingers at the team's offensive issues.
On ESPN's Unsportsmanlike Show, former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky openly discussed the Jets' struggles, placing blame on both Rodgers and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
"It's both of those guys, right now, not getting the offense going," Orlovsky said.
He also hinted at a potential solution-trading for wide receiver Davante Adams to inject new life into the offense.
Will the Jets pursue a Davante Adams trade?
Orlovsky's suggestion comes at a critical time, as the Jets prepare for difficult matchups against the Ravens, Chiefs, and Texans.
He argued that Adams would be a significant upgrade over the Jets' current wide receivers and could help turn the season around. This advice followed reports of internal tension, including a now-deleted tweet from Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner, who took a subtle jab at Rodgers' ing game.
"If a QB throws the ball and it is blanket coverage, they are 100% throwing the ball and hoping it's a flag. Lol," Gardner posted on Twitter.
Though the tweet was quickly removed, it reflects the frustrations brewing within the team.
With the Jets' offense struggling, Rodgers may be hoping for a familiar face on the field-someone like Davante Adams. The two played together in Green Bay, and their chemistry was undeniable.
Since Adams has requested a trade, rumors have been circulating that the Jets might be a preferred destination. However, Adams is taking his time, weighing his options before making any decisions.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Adams is considering teams where he already has connections.
While the Jets have Rodgers, another strong contender is the New Orleans Saints, led by Derek Carr, who also has a history with Adams.
Other teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers, have expressed interest as well. The Chiefs are eyeing Adams as a potential replacement for injured wide receiver Rashee Rice, while the Steelers are looking to enhance their offense with the star receiver.
Although there is no concrete timeline for a trade, the NFL community is buzzing with anticipation. As the Jets continue to search for answers, the possibility of reuniting Rodgers and Adams could be the key to salvaging their season. For now, fans are left wondering if they'll see the dynamic duo take the field together once more.
