Davante Adams trade looks even more impressive for NY Jets after details emerge

Say what you want about the NY Jets — no one can accuse them of not going all-in to capitalize on their current Super Bowl window. Tuesday's Davante Adams trade is further proof of that.

Will it lead to wins? Will it result in the Jets finally ending their 13-year postseason drought? Will it produce a Super Bowl? That remains to be seen. But the Jets are trying.

The Jets sent a conditional third-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for Adams on Tuesday, reuniting the six-time Pro Bowler with Aaron Rodgers in Florham Park.

The Jets were forced to take on the entirety of Adams' remaining contract, but there's a good reason for that. The conditions of that third-round pick are extremely favorable for the Jets, and make the deal look even better for Joe Douglas and company.

NY Jets received extremely favorable conditions in Davante Adams trade

That draft pick only becomes a second-rounder if Adams receives first or second-team All-Pro honors or the Jets reach at least the AFC Championship Game.

Adams seems unlikely to make a push for All-Pro honors considering he's played just three games this season and only has 18 catches for 209 yards and a touchdown. And the Jets would gladly be willing to surrender a second-round pick if it meant Adams helped them make a deep playoff run.

The Raiders were reportedly dead-set on receiving a second-round pick and forcing their trade partner to eat Adams' entire contract. In the end, the Jets will have to pay Adams' salary, but they likely won't be sending a second-round pick to Las Vegas.

The salary portion of the deal really only affects the Jets in 2024 as well. Adams has no guaranteed money remaining on his contract beyond this season. It's essentially a one-year deal and the two sides are expected to rework his contract at some point.

The Adams trade essentially cuts into the Jets' remaining 2024 cap space and that's about it. It does, however, make it much more likely that Haason Reddick will be traded, but that may have been an inevitability anyway.

The Jets were able to acquire a player who is still one of the best wide receivers in the NFL for a measly third-round pick. That doesn't mean they're automatically Super Bowl contenders. It doesn't mean all of their issues are fixed. But that's a good deal. That's a worthwhile trade.

The Jets didn't fleece the Raiders by any means. In reality, both sides essentially got what they wanted. But the specific conditions of the trade are very favorable for the Jets' organization.

The Jets are all-in. The Davante Adams trade solidifies that stance.
