The New York Jets made a significant acquisition this Tuesday, trading for Pro Bowl wide receiver Davante Adams in the wake of their disappointing loss to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.
The move reunites Adams with former Green Bay Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers and should help foster a turnaround in NY following the Jets’ 2-4 start to the season.
The Jets have sent a conditional third-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders which would become a second-rounder depending on the WR’s performance over the remainder of the season.
Adams, who had made no secret of his desire to be traded, reacted by posting a short clip of his young daughter laughing to his Instagram.

This comes after Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was accused of using his kids as “human shields” to deflect negative questions from reporters at his post-game presser after his team’s win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Davante Adams Was Unhappy In Vegas
Adams made it known that he wanted to be traded before Week 5 this season, having grown disenchanted with the team’s performances after their woeful start to the season.
The Raiders have allowed him to leave because they are in a rebuilding phase and are aware that they cannot win a Super Bowl this season. They have opted to take the draft capital in the hopes of retooling for next term.
As for the Jets, their offense has experienced a major upgrade, with Rodgers linking up with his favorite target from his Packers days.
The team has now done everything possible to make him happy and will be keen on seeing some returns on their investment, given what has been a disaster so far.
VIDEO: Buffalo Bills Ruthlessly Trolled The New York Jets After MNF Win With A Clip From “The Sopranos”

The Buffalo Bills cleverly trolled the New York Jets by using an iconic clip from “The Sopranos” TV series following their thrilling “Monday Night Football” win.
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills narrowly outlasted their division rivals 23-20 to improve to 4-2 on the season. The victory moved Buffalo two games up on the Jets for tops in the AFC East, with a fifth straight division crown firmly in their grasp. It also gave their social media team a golden opportunity to reference “The Sopranos”.
Right after the victory, the Bills’ X/Twitter account shared an edited clip from “The Sopranos” to troll the Jets. The clip is from the season one episode “College,” where Meadow Soprano asks her father, Tony Soprano if he’s in the mafia.
The character, played by the late James Gandolfini, immediately denies it. In the edited clip, the Bills have Tony saying he’s in the “Bills mafia.”
Gandolfini was a huge fan of the New York Jets, who were occasionally referenced in the legendary television show along with several other sports teams in the BitTg Apple.

The Bills’ 23-20 victory helped them avoid a three-game losing streak. It also marked the third straight loss for Aaron Rodgers’ Jets, who are now 2-4 on the season following a promising 2-1 start.
Buffalo will host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon, while the Jets will travel to Pittsburgh to visit the Steelers on “Sunday Night Football.”
Perfect Usage Of “The Sopranos” Clip By Bills Social Media Team
“The Sopranos” centers around Gandolfini’s character trying to balance his family life with his demanding life as a mafia boss. Bills fans are referred to as “Bills mafia” so this was a savvy and perfect use of “The Sopranos” by Buffalo’s social media team.
Buffalo and New York will meet again in Week 17 at Highmark Stadium on Dec. 29. If the Jets win that game, we’ll see if they remember this and decide to troll the Bills right back.
