Davante Adams was not particularly surprised that Joe Douglas got sent packing by the Jets.
The Jets wideout appeared on FanDuel TV’s “Up & Adams” and was asked about his response to the final manager getting sacked.
“It’s surprising but it surely’s not, simply because you recognize the way in which this game goes,” Adams said.
“When games aren’t being won and things don’t look the way in which they were intended to look, something’s gotta change.”
Douglas had held the job since 2019 and the Jets were 30-64 during his tenure.
Adams was acquired by the Jets on Oct. 15, and the wheels have fallen off the wagon because the team sits at 3-8 and quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks like a shell of his former great self.
On his “Up & Adams” appearance, Adams continued to elucidate that management turnover was the way in which of the world amid underperformance within the NFL.
“That was something similar [with Robert Saleh] — obviously I wasn’t technically here yet for the pinnacle coaching change, but going through that in Vegas — when things aren’t working typically you progress some things around,” Adams said.
“You’ve gotta adjust some furniture. I type of anticipated it coming just based on the scope of the season and the way we’ve been looking as a team. They’ve got to position the blame or put accountability on someone, and oftentimes it winds up on the coach or the management. That’s just type of how the cookie crumbles. It’s not for me to say whether it’s the best thing to do or not. I’m just getting here and I’m still hearing concerning the way things work on this constructing and the way in which things have been in on this constructing. So I’m not here to discuss whether it was alleged to occur — that’s just typically the way it goes.”
Nevertheless, Adams doesn’t regret making the voyage to the Jets.
“No, I don’t live my life like that,” Adams said, “We’re talking about fidgeting with Aaron Rodgers here… this isn’t like taking some crazy gamble with some rookie that’s unproven.”
