Davante Adams is not going to sign with the Saints.
The last thing Loomis needs to do is add a declining veteran to the cap. And if he jut got effective guys off the street, then he's not going to chase Davante Adams.
If you're Davante Adams' agent, you look at the Saints and see a team with a busted cap, 4 meh seasons in a row, and possible transition at head coach and the staff. You know Loomis will lowball the offer. Derek Carr may be a close friend, but Aaron Rodger's situation shows that going to play with old veteran friends on non-contending teams is a bad idea.
