Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants to head to the Los Angeles Rams along with wide receiver Davante Adams.
Aaron Rodgers has stated he wants to play for the Los Angeles Rams and he wants wide receiver Davante Adams to follow him there. After two unsuccessful seasons in New York, the Jets informed the HOF quarterback they are moving on. Rodgers clearly wants to end his career on better terms and he believes he can accomplish that in LA. Rodgers first season with the Jets was short lived as he tore his Achilles four snaps in. He bounced back last season with 3,897 passing yards with 28 TDs and 11 INTs. These are stats that any quarterback would like to have but the team finished with a 5-12 record. Rodgers has always been an enigma whether that is with his world views or his treatment of teammates, that said, there is no doubt he is a Hall of Fame quarterback.
If Rodgers makes his way into Sean McVay’s offense, will he be able to accept the way his head coach wants to play. Towards the end of his years in Green Bay, Rodgers conflicted with then new head coach Matt LaFleur for a couple of seasons before winning multiple MVPs. Rodgers will be 41 years old this season, he doesn’t have multiple seasons to get comfortable with McVay, even though McVay and LaFleur run similar offenses. The question is, do the Rams even want Rodgers? They still have Matthew Stafford under contract at the moment. Rodgers finished as QB-15 in 2024, he could potentially be in the top 10 in LA.

ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan writes that after talking to ...
With the NFL's legal tampering period set to open on Monday,...
The New York Giants are investigating all veteran ...
After being first round picks in 2024, the two stud Jets players are presenting value versus last year’s ADP.
The New York Jets do not have their starting quarterback yet for the 2025 season. Leading the Jets in average draft position on Underdog are both Breece Hall as RB-11 and Garrett Wilson as WR-15 early in round 3.
A large part of the appeal in drafting Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson is that they were first round draft picks last year. The talent remains the same and the situation is set up for improvement from having Aaron Rodgers as the Jets starting quarterback last season.
Breece Hall was 4th in receptions with 57 and 4th in receiving yards with 483 while his rushing yards were lagging behind to the tune of 876, No.22 at his position. Garrett Wilson sounds like he is amenable to rescinding his trade request and was surprisingly WR-10 in fantasy football in 2024. Take advantage of the ADP discount before their stock rises after the NFL Draft.

The New York Jets met with Aaron Rogers to discuss the future of their quarterback room. While it’s too soon to tell who will be the long-awaited answer at QB, the team informed Rodgers they will be parting ways.
Say what you will about Aaron Rodgers, but say that he will be an NFL legend for years to come. While the Jets 3-year, $75M guaranteed, contract with Rodgers ended a total bust, I can’t blame them for shooting their shot. Rodgers is a Super Bowl winning, 4 time MVP, 10 time pro-bowl Quarterback — and the Jets just witnessed another Legend at the position take his team to the playoffs at age 45. Sadly, Rodgers missed his first year with an injury and then never looked like the same MVP Aaron Rodgers since. I think the Jets made the correct move to part ways and look to the future.
The Jets do not have a Quarterback of consequence on the roster and will need to sign a free agent and also take a stab at an incoming rookie. Ironically enough the best available free agent would be Sam Darnold, who started his career as the 2018 NFL Drafts 3rd overall pick to the Jets. Signing Darnold would let them have a shot at drafting the highest rated WR in this class, Tetairoa McMillan — who would pair well with Garrett Wilson and would allow Davante Adams to fulfill his annual trade-me-to-another-team ritual. Alternatively the team could court one of Russell Wilson or Justin Fields as an intermediate option while they wait for a future franchise QB draft pick. This year pick 7 is probably too late for Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, and while it might seem too early for Jaxon Dart, I doubt he will fall to the Jets at pick 42. My money is on Dart to the Jets Round 1.

The New York Jets have made a splash trade, acquiring star Wide Receiver Davante Adams from the Raiders, in exchange for a conditional 3rd round pick. Rodgers and Adams are reunited after spending 8 years in Green Bay together.
The saga is finally over. Davante Adams has a new home in the New York Jets, reuniting with his former Green Bay Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This is fantastic news for Adams, who has seemingly languished on the Las Vegas roster for the last season and a half without Derek Carr. The news comes just a day after the Jets lost to the division rival Bills, in a game where the offense did look much improved with the demotion of Nate Hackett. Adams has been dealing with a hamstring injury since Week 3, but look for that to miraculously heal at the sight of his new jersey.
The fantasy impact is that Adams should be able to reignite his top-10 status with Rodgers, but it might take a game or two to get back on the same page. Regarding the other options on the Jets roster, Garrett Wilson has had two back-to-back break-out weeks. He goes from being the #1 in the Offense to the WR2, which should fit his style better, as only Allen Lazard was the second option behind him. Speaking of Lazard, we could only hope that it makes him more irrelevant for fantasy, but his familiarity with Rodgers has allowed him to score some improbable catches of late (see the Hail Mary at the end of the half Monday night for proof).
All in all, this is a boost for the moribund offense that was stuck in the mud for the last two games. They are moving in the right direction with Todd Downing, and this addition might be the one that puts them over the top.

Robert Saleh has been fired by the New York Jets, according to Adam Schefter.
After a loss to the Vikings in London on Sunday, the Jets owner, Woody Johnson, has decided that the franchise is moving in a different direction, after Saleh’s 20-36 record in 5 years. Defensive Coordinator, Jeff Ulbrich, will be the interim head coach.
The impact of this fantasy-wise is hard to know, considering Saleh was a defensive-minded head coach. Nate Hackett is still the OC (for now), and they still have 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers at the reins. The offensive output in the last 5 games to start the season has produced similar results as last year, so this firing makes little sense this early in the season with their “new” QB.
Watch for any news of Hackett’s firing, as that will have a direct impact on the skill players involved. The Jets’ defense, which has performed fairly well this year, despite key injuries, may take a slight hit from Saleh’s departure.
The New York Jets have placed wide receiver Mike Williams on the PUP list prior to the start of camp.
Mike Williams is set to begin training camp on the PUP list. The Jets signed the former Chargers wide receiver during the offseason to a one-year $15 million deal. Williams is still recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in Week 3 last season.
Williams has tallied up 309 receptions in seven seasons with the Chargers, for 4,806 yards, and 31 touchdowns. The veteran receiver has eclipsed the 1,000 yards receiving plateau twice in his career while having one double-digit touchdown season. Before last season, Williams was averaging 55.8 receptions, 892.4 yards, and six touchdowns in his five previous seasons.
Williams should be ready for Week 1, and be an excellent complement to Garrett Wilson this year. He provides Aaron Rodgers, who’s returning from an Achilles injury with another weapon to throw to. On UnderDog, Williams currently has an ADP of 128.5 coming off the board as WR60. If your draft is soon, fantasy managers should look to draft him around the 11th round. Then after the draft you can stash him on your IR spot and pick up another young high-upside player to see how things shake out during camp.
