J-E-T-S! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!>> Which team made the more head-scratching move Tuesday? Was it the Jets, who went “all-in” and traded for receiver Davante Adams a week after firing their head coach and one day after falling to 2-4? Or was it the Raiders, whose return for dealing a three-time All-Pro was a conditional third-round pick? It could be argued Vegas did well to get anything for a player who clearly wanted out of Sin City, but a third-rounder doesn’t feel like much of a return for a player of Adams’ caliber. At the same time, if owner Woody Johnson thinks the Jets’ problem was a lack of offensive weapons — last we checked, RB Breece Hall and WR Garrett Wilson are pretty good — he’s in for a bit of a surprise.
WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM>> Speaking of wide receiver trades, let us be the latest to give the Bills high marks for recognizing a need and acting on it by acquiring Amari Cooper from the Browns. All it cost them was a third-round pick, and they somehow turned a 2026 seventh-rounder into a 2025 sixth-rounder as part of the deal. Go figure. Unlike their AFC East counterparts in the Big Apple, the Bills (4-2) are actually a move or two away from becoming a Super Bowl threat. Is this the one that finally puts Buffalo over the top?
DANGE-RUSS DECISION>> So, Justin Fields starts off the season 4-2 and … loses his job to Russell Wilson? Did someone forget to send Steelers coach Mike Tomlin the Dange-Russ tape from his time in Denver? Of course, the real tragedy here is that Wilson couldn’t get healthy in time to face the Broncos in their Week 2 matchup at Empower Field at Mile High (a game Fields ended up winning, by the way). Broncos Country, we were robbed.
