The New York Jets appear to be still finding ways to win games this season. They traded and welcomed Davante Adams with the hopes of improving their situation, but it did not pan out. In Week 7, the team fell to the Steelers hard with a score of 37-15.
Despite the addition of a new wide receiver, Aaron Rodgers failed to show his dominance against the Steelers. And as a result of all of this, the fingers are pointed at him once again. But this time he is not alone as another WR is blamed for the loss. Here we are talking about Garrett Wilson who has a 20 million dollars worth of contract with the Jets. And after the last game, Wilson was humiliated, which is why he may leave the team.
Agree. Have to trade him to the Chiefs now https://t.co/43IwlOX5gE

But what exactly happened? Actually, some of you may not be aware that Davante Adams was spotted ranting at Garrett Wilson on the sidelines following the Steelers game. The explanation for this is most likely that the seasoned WR was ensuring that the younger one understood what A-Rod expects from his receivers. Following this event, people began to question if Wilson would remain with the Jets in the future or whether he was hoping to get traded away. He has a lot of talent and do you know who wants a WR this talented? The Kansas City Chiefs.

The QB-WR relationship is very vital, and both players should understand what the other is thinking. However, this is not the case with Rodgers and Wilson, which is why the Davante Adams deal occurred in the first place. Among all of these situations, the Jets should also be looking to fix its offensive line. Even A-Rod mentioned this at his post-game NFL media availability.
After signing Davante Adams, Aaron Rodgers wants to enhance his game on the field
When you embrace your mistakes, you become a successful guy, and Rodgers is a prime example. During the post-game press conference, the quarterback accepted full responsibility for the loss. This was a courageous move by him, demonstrating why he is an excellent leader. The man added that even if the team is unable to perform, it will be fine if he accomplishes something exceptional.

What’s your perspective on:
Is Aaron Rodgers losing his magic touch, or is the Jets' offensive line to blame?
Have an interesting take?
The man also revealed what he is doing to improve: “I got to play better. That’s the key. I got to play better. Find a way to run the ball better, so we can actually pass.” Well, it is safe to say that if this is A-Rod’s thinking right now, the Jets can yet recover from this terrible position. Davante Adams has returned, and if the quarterback-wide receiver duo continues to practice, we all know what they are capable of.
The Jets have a big game coming up against the New England Patriots next week. This season, the Patriots have been underperforming just like the Jets, which makes them an opponent that the Jets need right now. This is why the team will attempt to capitalize and build traction for the rest of the season. Only time will tell how Aaron Rodgers will lead his squad for a comeback in week 8.
