I haven't been high on the Jets, but I do think that Davonte Adams could change what's going on.

Yeah, I think he can change it. I think you know what he brings to the table. Uh. Plus he has that chemistry with Aaron Rodgers and and right now, man because you know, it's like that last ball game that they I feel like they should have won, but it ended up costing him towards the end. And you know with Amari Cooper going to the Bills, that's big. That's big also, so you know, you get two veterans that that knows the game, knows what they're capable of, and uh that gonna just go in and uh and really help both, you know, help those teams. I had a chance to stand up next to DeVante Adams and I couldn't believe the size of this Guy's big. He's a big receiver. Big receiver, but explosive receiver that can you know, really run by you or you know, make those difficult catches over the middle, not afraid of utilizing his body getting hit, all of those things. And and uh so it's gonna be you know, exciting to see him and Aaron Rodgers get back together.

I get that, But you did put some time in with the Raiders, and you put some good time in with with the Raiders, Like do you did you see like how how do you feel it could have gone differently, like from your you know, from your vantage point, what could have happened differently? Is it the quarterback? They don't have a quarterback. I don't think they have a quarterback, but I think they need a quarterback. What did you think the Derek Carr situation maybe messed up, maybe kind of poisoned the well.

A little bit.

A little bit.

I think all of them that might might have been a factor, But it was just that they did not bring another quarterback in there, and and and I think, you know, even with Jimmy g uh back in the day, I think with Defante Adams, he was frustrated and it just kept building, you know, and and for some reason, and in this year's draft, uh you know, uh, well last year's draft, they still didn't get to bring a quarterback.
