Davante Adams is a veteran wide receiver who saw an opportunity to provide some leadership for his new team following a Week 7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but some around the league believe that said more about the New York Jets than anything else.

"It's a sad commentary on the team, that someone from the outside has to tell them what they're doing wrong," a former NFC general manager said in a Thursday story by ESPN's Rich Cimini.

A player on the Jets also smiled and offered "no comment" when asked how it felt to have a new teammate calling out the team following a loss in his first game.
