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

St. Geezy said

What if we did something like this…

Saints receive: Devante Adams + 2025 fourth round pick, significant cash assistance from Raiders

Raiders receive: 2025 third round pick that becomes a second round pick if Adams is on the roster after March 15th (or any arbitrary date after the league year begins)

So the NFL doesn't allow you to trade "cash considerations" the way other leagues do. That would be the only caveat to any deal.

With that said, there is one way around it, which would be for a player to convert base salary into a signing bonus before a trade, which would accelerate the cap hit onto the current team's cap that season (as well as actual cash paid). I can't remember if I've seen that or not in the NFL specifically, but it is an option.
