How Jets’ Robert Saleh firing impacts Davante Adams trade pursuit
Although the New York Jets fired head coach Robert Saleh on Tuesday in a shocking move, that does not impact the team’s interest in trading for wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, according to to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report.
The Jets want Davante Adams just as much as he wants to join the Jets, according to Schultz. It is still an obvious fit given the relationship that he and Aaron Rodgers have to this day. Not to mention, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is still there after Robert Saleh’s departure.

Aaron Rodgers is the oldest player in the NFL, and while he has generally played much better than his age, that was not the case for most of the first half between his New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings today.
Rodgers, who is 40 and will turn 41 later this season, made two costly mistakes in the first half of the Jets’ London brawl with the Vikings. The first of which came in the final few minutes of the first quarter when Rodgers did not see Minnesota linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, who picked off Rodgers’ quick pass and returned it more than 60 yards for his team’s first touchdown.

A second interception followed soon thereafter. On the next drive and on just his second pass attempt since the pick-six, Rodgers sailed a ball intended for Allen Lazard, allowing Camryn Bynum to jump up for another Vikings takeaway.
