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

There seems to be a faction of fans here that believe unless you are cut and above, one of the best rosters assembled, with no weaknesses, built for super stardom and a 15-2/14-3 record, then you are not a “contender.”

Contending is a function of who you are competing with, and to me, the teams we are competing with are all essentially the same as us, except for MAYBE the 49ers if they were healthy.

We may not look like a contender on paper based on what we are used to as a NFC contender standard, but in 2024, our current roster assembled, specifically if you add a superstar like Adams, is the epitome of a contender.

I promise you, if we add Adams, all the talking heads will be talking about how we may have just made ourselves the team to beat in the NFC, because it is WEAK.
