00:00Help is a key word, Joveneri, because in the last minute, huge, huge breaking news in the

00:10National Football League from NFL Network's Ian Rappaport.

00:14The Raiders are completing a trade of star wide receiver Devontae Adams to the Jets.

00:22Back with his old pal Aaron Rodgers as Las Vegas moves on.

00:27What the trade compensation is, that remains to be seen at this point.

00:32But the reunion of Aaron Rodgers and Devontae Adams seems to be taking place for the New

00:39York Jets.

00:41Wow, what a move, 2 and 4, sub 500.

00:46Jo, this Jets team cannot avoid headlines.

00:50If there is drama, if there is notoriety, if there is attention, it really circulates

00:56on one place, that is East Rutherford, New Jersey or Forum Park, New York, where the

01:02facility is located.

01:05What was rumored and perhaps speculated, but seemed as though it was a long shot of actually

01:11happening, Joe Douglas and the Jets get it done, bringing back Devontae Adams with his

01:17former quarterback in Green Bay, now both playing in New York.

01:22The Jets are trading with the Raiders for Devontae Adams.

01:26This news breaking in the last minute and a half.

01:31For a conditional third round pick, that's basically what the Raiders got in return,

01:38a conditional third round pick.

01:40They didn't have to give up Mike Williams, they didn't have to give up anything else,

01:44it looks like.

01:45A conditional third round pick for Devontae Adams, which makes sense why we're now also

01:50hearing in the last hour that the Jets have given Hassan Reddick's people now permission

01:56to seek a trade.

01:58Why?

01:59Because you got to inherit Devontae Adams' contract now, and when he reports, all of

02:04that money that they're going to work on is also going to be towards the cap here.

02:10All of it is starting to come together, but again, does Devontae Adams move the needle

02:15on our public question today?

02:18The answer is absolutely not, it doesn't.

02:21But the fact that they only had to give up a conditional third, that's impressive.

02:26That's crazy.

02:27Yeah, that's crazy.

02:28To only get a conditional third round pick back in Las Vegas, what are we doing over

02:33there, Tom Telesco?

02:34What are we doing over there with this Raiders franchise?

02:38But it does, of course, have all the focus on the New York Jets.

02:42Joe, it is almost a carbon copy of our Tuesday show to start off our third and final hour

02:47a week ago when we got the huge and stunning breaking news that Robert Sala had been fired

02:53by the New York Jets.

02:55This team is consistently all in, and they must be with a 48-year-old quarterback.

03:02But again, I'm not entirely sure the offensive skill players are the issue for this New York

03:08Jets team.

03:09Sure, it looks like a juggernaut right now to pair Devontae Adams alongside Garrett Wilson

03:15with Al Lazar now becoming your third wide receiver and the reemergence of Brees Hall

03:21as we saw a night ago against the Buffalo Bills.

03:26But Joe, you just said it right there.

03:28Would it change the public's perception?

03:30Probably.

03:31Will it make a difference in the long term?

03:34And by the long term, I mean this season.

03:37Again, the New York Jets are a two and four football team now favored to miss the postseason

03:42despite being a minus money favorite to see the playoffs before the year, trying to snap

03:47a 13-year playoff drought for this Jets franchise.

03:52Does the addition of Devontae Adams change that outlook at all?

03:58I don't see how, unless, of course, Devontae Adams is going to help them get less than

04:0311 penalties a game.

04:06He's going to stop the offensive linemen from holding and them shooting themselves in the

04:10foot.

04:11So if Devontae Adams is going to kick, maybe he's the answer.

04:15He can catch touchdowns and kick.

04:17I don't get it.

04:18I don't think the offense of weapons were an issue, but again, Aaron Rodgers wanted

04:24Devontae Adams.

04:25Devontae wanted Aaron Rodgers.

04:27All right, careful what you wish for, man.

04:30I quote, resent any accusation, end quote, that he was involved in the firing of Robert

04:40Sala.

04:42This is Aaron Rodgers saying on the Pat McAfee show, formerly of the Sports Grid Network

04:45last Wednesday, that he is not nearly as involved in any of these front office decisions as

04:51the public might think.

04:53Aaron, lying is fun.

04:55You are becoming a comic at this point.

04:58Aaron Rodgers runs the New York Jets.

05:02That's the nature of the game.

05:03Will it matter?

05:04We'll talk later.
