Saints at the top of Davante Adams’ wish list [Raiders trade Adams to Jets for conditional 3rd ; Jets paying Adams’ entire remaining salary]

It seems almost certain that Adams will rework his contract to facilitate a trade according to reports. Adams has a lot more successful seasons, and overall NFL seasons, under his belt than to remind us of MT. He’s worth every penny of his salary as a reliable WR1 but I think he’ll cut his cap hit down. He wants out of Vegas that much.

He is owed 12.9M salary for the remaining 13 games. I can’t see Adams taking less than Mike Evans at 20M but could want Tyrek Hill 30M for future years.

Adams forces us to extend/restructure older players like Carr, Kamara, Latt, Hill, HB, DD, and not resigning younger Olave, Shaheed, Adebo type guys. A team of retirees in 2026/27 isn’t good long term planning.
