In a word, excitement. Adams, traded to the Jets (2-4) from the Raiders this week, revealed that more than a year ago him and Wilson talked about such a scenario. “We talked about this a little over a year ago, about how we wish we could play together,” Adams said. “Here we are now.”

Moments after Tuesday reports indicated the New York Jets had completed a trade for three-time All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams, Garrett Wilson posted a message on X (formerly Twitter) imploring the team to take advantage of the opportunity that comes with adding a player of Adams's caliber.

Adams' presence will make it harder for defenses to double-team Wilson, which should help him get open more easily.
