The very short-lived marriage between Devante Adams and the Jets is officially over. The Jets decided

0:06.8

here on Tuesday afternoon to release Adams. So he is officially out. And mind you, he's released. He's

0:13.9

not subject to waivers. And I'll talk about what that means in a minute here. But essentially,

0:18.9

the writing was on the wall for this as soon as the Jets decided to

0:22.4

move on from Aaron Rogers, right? We know Rogers almost certainly lobbied to get Adams

0:28.3

traded to the Jets. It was a weird ending to his very short time with the Raiders. He played with

0:35.9

the Raiders for two seasons, put up 100 catch seasons in

0:39.8

22 and 23, but 24 didn't get off to the best start. You know, his boy was long gone at that point,

Derek Carr. The Raiders were kidding themselves a quarterback, and if you recall, all the sudden in October, Adams was hurt.

1:19.7

essentially talking your other top two wide receivers are gone, and I don't know if they have

1:25.0

the horses in the stable to replace those guys. Like, yes, they did draft Malachi Corley.

1:29.7

He didn't hit in his rookie season.

1:31.4

Xavier Gibson is there.

1:32.5

He plays a role on special teams.

1:35.3

They also have Irving Charles there and Malik Taylor.

1:39.1

It is not Ellen and Marcus Riley.

1:42.6

And I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know who those last three guys are.

1:47.8

You know, they're UDFAs. Well, Malik Taylor wasn't, but still, like deep name, right? They're really thin,
