When asked if this will switch the offense immediately into the next gear, or if that's a dumb way to view the acquisition, Rodgers said with a smile, "I think that's a dumb way to view the acquisition." He noted that there's a lot the team needs to do to win games and that adding Adams doesn't mean an automatic victory.
That said, Rodgers had high praise for his former-turned-current teammate, saying Adams will make an impact the moment he arrives.
"He infuses a lot of energy into the team right away. He's a proven star player. He's an asset. He's an incredible locker room presence."
With wide receiver Garrett Wilson getting the majority of the attention in the passing game, he will now see some relief, something Rodgers feels will make a big impact.
"I think it's really going to help Garrett [Wilson] out," he said. "I think when you're able to be around a guy who's done it at a high level for a long time and see how he goes about his process, through osmosis [there's] going to be a lot of things that he'll be able to pick up. And I think Garrett the last two weeks has played really good."
Rodgers explained how the offense performed better against the Bills than they have previously, but it still struggled in the red zone and with missed opportunities. The Jets' hope is that adding Adams can eliminate some of those issues.
"It's definitely adding a lot to our team … and now this move lets everybody know, 'Hey it's on us now, because we're going all in and it's our time to go out there and win games, get on a run,' which we all feel deep down is going to happen," Rodgers said.
The quarterback noted that the firing of head coach Robert Saleh can take some energy out of a locker room, with players left with questions, but that a move like this reinfuses that energy.
The show then got a surprise appearance from Adams himself, who popped onto the screen to express his excitement about the trade.
"We're back baby, we're back," Adams said, adding that he's feeling great after missing multiple games with a hamstring injury.
"We're back man..
