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

Why are people acting like McCoy and Ruiz are out for the year or that Adams is 100% only being acquired for a single season playoff push and that’s it?

That’s the part I am not understanding. Why stop improving the team just because we have issues in that area?

Well, McCoy is out 6-8 weeks. Ruiz isn't being talked about in terms of time frame. Taysom has broken ribs. Carr is now out. The team is coming off 3 straight losses and looking at 2 more in the next 9 days. Even if Adams were to miraculously improve the team and they were to win 50% of the games after that, we'd be 7-10.

It just doesn't seem like the right kind of move to make for this team right now, with it's 2024 prospects not looking promising, the cost to acquire him being high and potentially harmful to the future roster and then the cost to keep him on the roster beyond 2024.

Improving the team is great, mortgaging more of the future for this season not so much.
