Jets fans won't have to wait long to see Davante Adams debut in a green and white uniform.
The newly acquired wide receiver is scheduled to make his Jets debut on Sunday night when they travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This comes after Adams had missed the past three games with the Raiders due to a hamstring injury, before news broke that the disgruntled receiver would be reunited with former teammate Aaron Rodgers in the Big Apple. I was disappointed.
In exchange for Adams, the Jets sent the Raiders a second-round pick and a third-round pick.
The new member of the organization also had his contract restructured to lower the salary cap to $3.21 million and add two voidable years to his contract. Mr. Schefter also reported.
News that Adams wanted out of Las Vegas became public earlier this month, and speculation immediately began that he wanted to go to New York.
Adams spoke glowingly about quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who previously played wideout in Green Bay.
