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

I bolded the most important part.

If that's true, why not run with it?

But aside from that, could you define what "contending" means to you? Would you agree that we are currently at least contending for the division and that Adams could help with that? And if we can win the division, get into the tournament, do we not have a chance to beat just about anyone in front of us, especially with the big bully on the block, the 49ers, looking like they *may* be falling back to the pack a bit.

Right now, the division leaders are TB, WAS, MIN, SEA....who exactly is far and away the "contender" right now, much less the contender that you can't fathom us competing with with a healthier roster + Devante Adams?

Who is this big contending boogeyman in the NFC we are aspiring to be like before committing to moves like this or who we absolutely cannot beat?

Again, I don't have an issue with trading for Adams if the cost isn't too high and doesn't hamstring us for future years. Giving yourself a shot in a weak NFC is one thing, but going all in when you are paper thin across the board is IMO a bad idea.
