Davante Adams is on the moveso it's time to release the 2024 NFL Trade Tracker.

With the NFL trade deadline still three weeks away on November 5th, there is plenty of time to complete a number of deals. If you look at the competitors, there should be a bevy of them. The Buffalo Bills made a trade for Amari Cooperbut the Kansas City Chiefs I still need a receiver. The same goes for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders.

Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions desperately need help with their pass rush after losing star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson this year to a fractured tibia and fibula.

While we have already written about some possible adjustments, let's start our trade tracker with the first big change of the seasonwith Adams ditching Silver & Black to join Gang Green.

October 15th

Grade: A+

Browns Grade: B-

Just hours after their division rivals tried to sign Davante Adams, the Bills got to work. Buffalo acquired Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns, bringing in one of the best receivers on the market.

For Buffalo, this is probably a rental, but an impactful one. The Bills are sending a third-round pick to Cleveland while also bringing back a 2025 sixth-rounder and then also parting ways with a seventh-round pick in '26. Still, that's a small price to pay for a receiver who has seven 1,000-yard campaigns and has less than $1 million in base salary this season.

After six weeks it became clearer and clearer that Buffalo didn't have enough on the outside. While Khalil Shakir is a nice slot player, the conglomerate of Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mack Hollins hasn't separated regularly, and Cooper is remedying the situation.

The season is lost for Cleveland. The Browns are 1-5 and fidgets with Deshaun Watson under the middle. Getting a top-100 pick for Cooper, who was likely headed into free agency anyway, was the right move.

Jets class: D

Raiders class: F

When was the last time a team two games under .500 made a significant midseason move to acquire talent instead of dumping them for future draft capital? Can't remember? Nobody can.

The Jets acquired Adams on Tuesday morning, sending a conditional third-round pick to the Raiders. Vegas would receive a second-rounder if the Jets reach the AFC Championship Game or if Adams earns All-Pro status in 2024.

This is where the problem lies for both sides. New York isn't good, not because it doesn't have enough weapons, but because the coaching is terrible, the run defense is average, and it lacks discipline. And while Aaron Rodgers is still a good quarterback, he's far from the player who won back-to-back MVPs with the Green Bay Packers in 2020 and 2021.

By acquiring Adams, the Jets are signing an expensive 31-year-old receiver who is looking to restructure his contract (he still has two non-guaranteed seasons) that runs through the 2026 season. Either New York will release him after the season and get a smaller return on his investment, or it will have to add more guaranteed money to the contract. Not ideal.

As for the Raiders, why don't they take on some salary and get a better pick in return? Owner Mark Davis doesn't have the cash like other owners around the league, but he should still pay Adams. Smart Business says you need to take a good chunk of your salary to sweeten the deal.

Plus, Vegas can't claim it's a good trade. The Raiders traded for Adams before the 2022 season, giving up first- and second-round picks before signing him to a five-year, $141 million contract. Las Vegas then fired Adams' college teammate, quarterback Derek Carr, after one year and replaced him with Jimmy Garoppolo, Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew II over the final two seasons.

Ultimately, the Raiders failed at every level, Adams wasted years of his prime, while the Jets got a great but aging player.
