Raiders HC Antonio Pierce liked IG post saying Davante Adams played his last down in Vegas

Better chance isn't a guarantee. Your own bias is showing in deciding he's going to make those plays, just because it's what you'd prefer to think will happen.

That doesn't move the needle enough to make the cost (salary cap, not just draft capital) worthwhile. Clearly our opinions differ on that point, so I don't expect us to agree.

I haven't mentioned OL by the way, but it's fair to say I do think there would be better ways to improve this team than adding another WR to the two starters we already have, on a team that wants to run the ball first and foremost. To say that those better options aren't available now, so get a WR instead, ignores the fact that you'd tie up future cap and draft capital that could later be spent on those necessary improvements. The cost has implications that are unpalatable.
There is no O lineman available for trade that not only moves the needle but is an equivalent of an Adams, not even close. If we give up a 3rd for Adams that lets us use our 1st and 2nd next yr to address that issue. Also in case you didn't notice in the 1st 2 games before McCoy went down our OL did pretty well. As far as cap goes, I have no issue with ML making it happen.
Plus let's say we make the playoffs, and with Adams the chances are much better. In the playoffs things get ramped up, more physical play, who you going to trust to make that contested catch? Shaheed? Olave? Or the guy that has made a career making that contested catch.
Also If we get Adams hen we have a window. A a 2 yr window where we Carr, Adams, AK Demario, Mathieu, Taysom an a D that plays great ( well at least for all but the last min or 2). That's a group that I can get behind an all in mentality for 2 yrs. If we don't make the SB, then I'm ok with a serious rebuild
