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

We owe it to them to not waste the 1-3 years they have left in the league. We cannot trade them due to the dead cap hits, so we are better off as a team and for them to do everything possible to try to compete. Also I feel like y’all are not taking into account how much a WR like Adams takes pressure off the QB and O-line. Being able to make tough catches over the middle on quick routes takes pressure off everyone.

Those guys are not like Drew Brees. They are not guys you sell your future to give one last shot at a title for, especially with the team in it's current state. They are nice pieces that have played well and been great team guys, but none are once in a generation players that you sell the farm for.

And you're right, I'm not taking into account that Adams will take pressure off the OL and QB because I don't think he will. We aren't even throwing over the middle unless it's deep because the line is beat right at the snap. Most of our passes are going to the outside again, just like last year. Once McCoy went down the offense folded and unless Adams is a better center than what we have, he's not doing anything over the middle.
