Former Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen shared his reaction to the New York Jets landing star wide receiver Davante Adams via X on Tuesday afternoon.
Allen, who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft by the Jets, appeared to be just as thrilled as the Jets fanbase after the news dropped.
“Feel like I’m in a Madden franchise [right now],” Allen wrote.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Las Vegas Raiders traded Adams to the Jets for a conditional third-round draft pick that could improve to a second-round selection.
The move was made just one day after the Jets fell to 2-4 on the season with a 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

The move to recharge the team now creates an offense with Allen, four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers, three-time All-Pro WR Davante Adams, 2022 AP Offensive Player of the Year Garrett Wilson, dynamic running back Breece Hall and more.
Not to mention, two-time All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner and two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Quinnen Williams also suit up for the Jets on defense.
Adams will now reinvigorate his connection with Rodgers for one of the most popular franchises in the NFL. During his eight seasons catching passes from Rodgers in Green Bay, Adams made five Pro Bowls and earned two first-team All-Pro selections as arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL.
The Jets’ offense will be back in action against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 20.
