NFL grades: Many midseason trades, including Jets' Davante Adams deal, have been busts

When the New York Jets traded for receiver Davante Adams, they were 2-4 but team owner Woody Johnson was confident that acquisition was the start of something big.

"We're gonna kick ... you can add the words after that," Johnson said after the trade. "We're going to do really well."

The Jets are 1-6 since the trade.

Adams hasn't helped the Jets that much, but that's true of most midseason trades this season. The moves generated a lot of talk and hype, and almost none of the traded players have had the impact their new teams were hoping for.
