The franchise was hoping that the early season acquisition of Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams would spark the struggling offense. While Adams had a productive year with 85 catches for 1,062 yards and eight touchdowns (most of which came with the Jets), the team went just 5–12 and once again missed the playoffs.

Davante Adams is currently with the New York Jets, but that's a marriage that doesn't seem like it's going to last much longer. Adams has two years at $35 million each left on his current contract, but the Jets are basically heading into a rebuild with a new general manager, a new coach and likely a new quarterback not named Aaron Rodgers.
