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

I agreed with you on AK before I saw what his production could be this yr AND how much of a work load he could handle even while hurting. I think AK ha 2 more yrs and that's what I would offer him on a guarantee. Why do you think that Adams is going to get even close to that big contract from whoever he goes to? I think we have all of the players I mentioned on the same length of contracts. 2, 3yrs most. Then if we don't make the SB, or heck even if we do, blow it all up and rebuild or ride it till age catches up, but not extending their contracts beyond those 2-3 yrs

I don't want to blow it up, I want to clean it up and start building the future now. Adams isn't the future, he is some other teams past. The other players are under contract, but simply aren't good enough or young enough to get us there anymore. And I love a lot of those guys. DD is nearly done. He's 35 years old and blink away from falling off like Cam. HB is the same, he's going to lose a step against young guys soon. Taysom can't keep playing the way he's playing. He's too old and he gets hurt. Latt is great but is on and off disgruntled and about to get really expensive. It's not time to get older and more expensive.

I feel like you're hanging on to the present and I'm ready to get moving on to the future after a failed attempt at extending the success we had with Sean and Drew. It was a valiant effort, but I believe in our preseason prospects less and less every season and hope fades earlier every season.
