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

Do you know what that contract restructure looks like? My guess is some of his salary being pushed into a signing bonus that they're going to eat next year when they have $55 million in cap space.

Despite your smart remarks, I'm sure you know which team couldn't do that.

You couldn't help yourself, lol.

Regardless, my point in making that comment was that Adams' contract was always going to get reworked, whether with us or any other team because his contract with the Raiders was not guaranteed and whatever team he goes to, he'd have to agree to a restructure. The contract was never going to prevent the trade. It's the draft pick and Raiders not picking up any of his salary that made a Saints trade untenable.

In any case, I'm relieved that Loomis didn't reach for Adams. We have bigger issues than WR.
