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

Some of those deep balls to Shaheed and Tipton that they couldn't come down with may have been different with a WR like Adams.

Those were all missed opportunities.

When the Saints have to make a play and the other team blitzes, Carr has no time, and the Saints receivers can't win on their routes.

Maybe just maybe Adams can.

The receivers are winning their routes it's just that Carr has to heave it up over his back foot. He made some good throws considering that pressure, but he also threw a bad interception because of it. Maybe Adams catches one of those balls and it would have been an amazing catch, but it would not have changed this game. This offense will be better based on if the OL gets healthy and they can run the ball. Hopefully McCoy comes back in 6 weeks and is fine. Hopefully Patrick end up being fine. Hopefully Ruiz comes back soon and is fine. But that's a lot of things we hope works out and we have 2 games in the next 9 days. Who knows what the injury report will be for this week.

Yes they scored 90 points in the first two games, but they did that because they could run the ball. And, if they can score 90 points in two games by running the ball with a healthy OL, Olave, and Shaheed, why would we need to spend a bunch of future assets on Adams?
