One of the most downtrodden franchises in all of North American professional sports is taking a new approach to the coming year.

"I gave everything I had to the rehab process but despite all my efforts, my leg never responded the way we hoped."

The New York Jets have agreed to terms to acquire disgruntled wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders.

It didn't cost his team the game, but the kicker is being put on blast for missing an extra point that put them in jeopardy.

"I'm not saying it's a better or worse take on things by any means, but just a different take on things, a fresh approach."

Aaron Rodgers was less than enthused with the chatter that he played any role at all in the firing of his head coach.

"For high-level employees of any organization, it’s a bad look. It’s a power play, plain and simple," one insider said.

"There is nothing imminent, but a situation to watch for sure," one NFL insider said about the trade request.

"Since the trade discussions back in March we have been clear, direct, and consistent with our position," the team GM said.

He was in a competition to be a backup running back and help return punts and kickoffs for the New York Jets.
