Say what you will, but Gang Green wrapped up their season with a throwback AR12-esque show. Aaron Rodgers masterclass. 4 TDs, a few nostalgic moments with the way he connected with Davante Adams, and a 32-20 win over the Dolphins. But as the curtain falls on the Big Apple’s season, the spotlight shifts—what’s next for Rodgers and Adams?
Turns out, Davante’s future might hinge on what No. 8 decides. When asked if Rodgers leaving would push him to follow suit, Adams didn’t mince words. “Potentially,” he admitted, though he added that it’s not the only factor. A reunion without Rodgers? Depends on how the Jets play their offseason cards.
Adams kept it real about where he stands—hint: in limbo. “I have no idea, honestly,” he said. “I want to take some time, reassess, and have a few conversations.” A little offseason soul-searching for the All-Pro, and you can’t blame him. The Jets’ plans will play a big role in shaping his next move.

Davante Adams says the Aaron Rodgers decision will have some bearing on what he does. Says he would “potentially” stay with the #Jets if Rodgers retires/leaves, but it depends on other factors.

Oh, and don’t forget the nagging hip injury Adams mentioned. Painful? Sure. But he shrugged it off like a pro, saying he’s battled through worse. Whether it’s the injury, Rodgers’s decision, or the Jets’ future direction, Adams has plenty to think about before he locks in his next chapter.
And if his comments on the whole front office are anything to go by, then don’t mind him wanting out of New York the first instance Rodgers leaves!

Davante Adams’ recipe for the Jets to become a Gang again!
The Jets’ 2024 season felt like a long, awkward timeout. Between quarterback injuries, shaky O-line play, and a defense that forgot how to defend, it’s no wonder they ended up 5-12. Davante Adams, however, sees a path forward—and it’s not just about Xs and Os. He believes a winning culture starts from the ground up. “Every floor of the Jets building is important to changing the culture,” Adams said. Sounds like it’s time for a full-team huddle, right?
Let’s talk accountability. Adams wasn’t pulling any punches when he said, “You need guys that buy in, and you need a coach that’s able to come in here, win over the players, and hold everybody accountable.” Translation? The Jets need a leader who can rally the troops and weed out the half-hearted efforts. Might sound like a shade to Jeff Ulbrich, but it was more than that. His words did raise questions over the current leadership. Whether it’s the seventh overall draft pick or free agency, this offseason is about finding not just talent but grit.

Oh, and that locker room chemistry? It’s as crucial as a fourth-quarter drive. Building trust, fostering support, and keeping egos in check will be key. The Jets might’ve missed the playoffs for the 14th straight year, but with the right moves, 2025 could be the season they finally flip the script. Believing and hoping are free, after all!
