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

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.

I would argue that the Saints have the leverage in that Adams has tried twice now to get what we wanted and neither situation panned out. He's no longer the high prized FA WR. He'll be lucky to get a new deal with a new team instead of having to play out the rest of his career with an Aaron Rodgers-less Jets team.
Now I don't think we need him nor should we give any kind of bounty to bring him in. I hope Loomis low-balls and offers him a team friendly deal if it ever even comes to that. The Saints might be the last legit opportunity for him at this point.
