00:00I'll see you next time.

00:05Devante Adams is now the newest

00:07New York Jet. He reunites with

00:09his former quarterback for 8

00:11years in Green Bay. That is

00:14Aaron Rodgers, but does it make

00:17a difference? The Jets are two

00:19and four after the opening

00:21third of this NFL season. The

00:23Jets still have a plus money

00:25price at plus 140 to reach the

00:28playoffs. I agree with the

00:30oddsmakers at bare minimum. A

00:32playoff berth this season is

00:34the standard of success. I'm

00:37not sure they see that. I'm not

00:39sure they snap a 13-year

00:41playoff drought, but that is

00:43bare minimum. But Joe, when

00:45Aaron Rodgers was acquired back

00:47in March of 2023, or at least

00:49made his intention clear that he

00:51wanted to play for the New York

00:54Jets, the bare minimum was not

00:56playoff berth or bust. It was

00:58not getting the New York Jets

01:00back to the postseason for the

01:02first time in more than a

01:04decade. The talk around the New

01:05York Jets, Lombardi Trophy, AFC

01:08Championship. I don't think

01:10Devante Adams helps them do

01:12that. I'm not even sure

01:14Devante is the difference of a

01:16playoff trip or not. So at the

01:20end of the day, when 2024 comes

01:23to a close, the question that I

01:25will continue to ask for the

01:27New York Jets is this one. Was

01:29it worth it? And still, I'm not

01:32sure the answer is a resounding

01:34yes.

01:37Well, I'll say this here, Ben.

01:39I'll try to put a positive spin

01:41on this thing here for the Jets.

01:43If it does work, then yes.

01:49There is literally no reason

01:51with the weapons they have now

01:54and what a matchup nightmare

01:56defenses are going to have

01:57because defenses have done a

01:59pretty good job of trying to

02:00shut down Garrett Wilson because

02:02they didn't trust anybody else

02:03to be able to beat them. Well,

02:05they're not going to have that

02:06opportunity here with Devante

02:07Adams. Garrett Wilson will not

02:09be the number one receiver on

02:10the field with Devante Adams

02:12there. It will always be

02:14Devante Adams. So it becomes a

02:16problem for defenses. If they

02:18live up to the potential, then

02:21yes, it could very well be a

02:23very dangerous team that can

02:24drop 30 on anybody. But that is

02:27a huge if. And I put it, I'll

02:30say this, 50-50 it works, Ben.

02:32Is that fair? Because the talent

02:35is certainly there.
