After weeks of speculation, Davante Adams is headed to the New York Jets to reunite with his former QB Aaron Rodgers, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Jets are reportedly sending back a conditional third-round pick that can become a second-round pick based on performance.
This trade comes less than 12 hours after the Jets delivered an ugly 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills on “Monday Night Football.” It was the team’s first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh, and the presence of the newly-named interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, as well as new offensive signal caller Todd Downing, wasn’t enough to stop the Jets from making costly mistakes.
Here’s a look at some of the other top stories in the NFL coming out of Week 6.
Russell Wilson reportedly set to get first-team reps
The Pittsburgh Steelers are trending toward making a change at quarterback. Veteran Russell Wilson, who signed with the Steelers in March, is finally healthy enough to start taking first-team reps, and will reportedly do just that this week. That sets him up to make his Steelers debut this weekend when they face the New York Jets.
Aidan Hutchinson expected to miss the rest of the season
The Lions’ pass-rushing specialist is leading the NFL in sacks with 6.5, but was carted off the field in Dallas on Sunday with what was confirmed to be a broken tibia. He had surgery on it in Dallas and is expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Hutchinson had 11.5 sacks in 2023 and made his first Pro Bowl last season.
Is the heat turning up on Mike McCarthy in Dallas?
If you were to just look at the Dallas Cowboys’ road results this year, you’d find a 3-0 team that, while it has some things to clean up, has been able to come away with a couple close wins, even beating the 4-2 Steelers in Pittsburgh. But at home, the Cowboys have barely been competitive, and for all but two quarters, have gotten entirely stomped on home turf. The Cowboys have given up 119 points — 39.7 points per game — at home in three games this season.
After the worst home loss of the Jerry Jones era — coincidentally on his 82nd birthday — Jones said he’s not considering a coaching change, even as questions about Mike McCarthy continue to swirl. The Cowboys are off in Week 7, and play their next two games on the road.

Raiders trade All-Pro WR Davante Adams to Jets, ending months of trade speculation
Davante Adams is reportedly headed to the Jets to reunite with his old QB. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes, File) The Las Vegas Raiders are trading All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams to the New York Jets, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Jets are reportedly sending back a conditional third-round pick that can become a second-round pick based on performance.
This trade comes less than 12 hours after the Jets delivered an ugly 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills on “Monday Night Football.” It was the team’s first game since firing head coach Robert Saleh, and the presence of the newly-named interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, as well as new offensive signal caller Todd Downing, wasn’t enough to stop the Jets from making costly mistakes.
Adams has a very familiar face waiting for him when he arrives in New Jersey: Aaron Rodgers, who was Adams’ teammate on the Green Bay Packers for years. With the Jets’ offense struggling, the hope is that reuniting Rodgers with one of his most successful on-field partners will help unlock all the success the team feels is just out of their reach.
The trade ends a two-plus season tenure for Adams in Las Vegas.

A little more info on the evolving Haason Reddick situation…
From the FWIW file: Drew Rosenhaus’ first comment to me last night was that his goal is to work something out with the #Jets. Mentioned it before I could ask about a possible trade. Could be canvassing the field to explore all options. https://t.co/GNVjw0ykPt
