Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers stats together: Jets duo in 2024

play

Two weeks ago, the New York Jets made the first trade 2024 NFL season, shipment a conditional third-round pick for the Las Vegas Raiders for wide receiver Davante Adams.

The deal reunited the three-time first-team All-Pro receiver with his longtime teammate. Aaron Rodgers in New York. Rodgers and Adams played eight seasons together with the Green Bay Packers before Adams was traded to the Raiders.

The move was expected to help the Jets turn around a 2-4 start to the season, but New York lost its first two games with Adams in the lineup. Here’s how Adams and Rodgers have impacted each other over the years.

Davante Adams Stats with Aaron Rodgers

After two games in New York, Adams is a little behind his pace in Las Vegas.

  • Adams with Las Vegas (three games): 27 goals, 18 receptions, 209 yards, one touchdown
  • Adams with New York (two games): 15 targets, seven receptions, 84 yards

He has fewer yards, receptions and targets per game with the Jets than he did with the Raiders. That’s not too surprising, however, as New York has more pass-catching threats than Vegas, so Adams will be less of a forced target.

Rodgers is performing a little better with Adams in the lineup through two games.

  • Before the Adams trade (six games): 134 of 217 passing, 1,387 yards, nine touchdowns, five interceptions, 84.4 passer rating
  • After the Adams trade (two games): 41 of 67 passing, 509 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions, 87.2 passer rating

Davante Adams career stats with Aaron Rodgers

Adams played in 116 games over eight seasons with the Packers. Rodgers was their starting quarterback in 108 games and Adams made the Pro Bowl five times (2017-2021). They were a dynamic duo for Green Bay, especially in the fast play.

After moving to New York, Adams now has 110 career games with Rodgers throwing him the ball compared to 45 with a different quarterback.

Here are his stats with and without Rodgers:

  • Adams with Rodgers (110 games): 629 receptions, 7,675 yards, 69 touchdowns
  • Adams without Rodgers (45 games): 268 receptions, 3,399 yards, 27 touchdowns

Is Aaron Rodgers going backwards?

Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. The four-time NFL MVP is the all-time leader in lowest interception percentage (1.4%) and quarterback rating (102.9).

His most recent MVP win came in 2021, when he led the NFL in quarterback rating (111.9) and a 37-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio. That coincidentally was his last season with Adams in Green Bay. But since then, it has fallen in most categories.

In 2022, his completion percentage, yards, touchdowns and ratings dropped significantly despite playing 17 games for the first time. He had a career-low 217.4 passing yards per game and threw 12 interceptions, his most since his first full season as a starter in 2008.

Rodgers missed the 2023 season with an Achilles tendon injury. In 2024, their numbers have continued to fall.

Through eight games, he is on pace for the lowest completion percentage and passer rating of his career. His interception rate is 2.5%, tied with his injury-affected 2017 season as the highest of his career, putting him on pace for a career-high 14 interceptions.

If this keeps up, the 2024 season will be Rodgers’ worst in the NFL by almost every statistic. He’s playing considerably worse than his MVP seasons in 2020 and 2021.
