The New York Jets trading for Davante Adams has given them an elite player to aid in their Super Bowl hopes. His chemistry with Aaron Rodgers is already well-established. Established enough that they will not face difficulties in hitting the stride sooner than later.

At around the same time, the Buffalo Bills brought in Amari Cooper to catch passes from Josh Allen. This gives the two AFC East teams important upgrades before the trade deadline.

ESPN analyst and former NFL WR Andrew Hawkins was asked on NFL Live about the ramifications of the Bills trade. He gave his understanding.

This (Cooper to Bills) is a more impactful trade than the Davante Adams trade. What it does is, it gives stability to this offense. They need a playmaker. Cooper does that.

Andrew Hawkins said

Hawkins’ words come from the way this trade could impact the AFC. He believes Amari Cooper will help the Buffalo Bills get over the hump and help them to reach the Super Bowl. On the other hand, Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers will be under pressure to perform.

That is, they have already won against the New York Jets on Monday Night Football this week with the team they already have. That team has struggled to generate meaningful offense throughout this season. Amari Cooper is one of the best in the league when it comes to running routes. With that receiving attention from defenders, the rest of the wideouts can perform better.

That will come in handy if and when they face the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. As earlier, most of the offense ran through Stefon Diggs. Once he was blanketed, Josh Allen did not have many good and consistent options to throw to. Now with Cooper garnering attention, his other receivers can break free.

When Diggs was his primary receiver, Josh Allen had some of his best years as a quarterback. But this season, the loss of Diggs has revealed its ugly side as the younger receivers have been unable to develop quickly enough to take his spot.

With Amari Cooper in, that problem gets an immediate solution.

Now Allen can throw to Cooper, stud rookie Keon Coleman, their best receiver so far in Khalil Shakir, transcending second-year TE Dalton Kincaid. Or he can dish it out to James Cook when all his receivers have defenders locked on to them.

This will likely become a nightmare for any opposition. Allen will have a complete team on offense for the first time in his career. No wonder some think the Buffalo Bills have a chance to reach the Super Bowl.
