New York Jets broad receiver Davante Adams realizes his reunion with quarterback Aaron Rodgers will in all probability be short-lived.
The Jets (3-10) have been eradicated from the playoffs in a 32-26 extra time loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Contemplating it is failed to fulfill expectations this season, New York might finish the Rodgers experiment quickly.
