Jets taking calls for WR Davante Adams……….. Adams expected to be released if no trade

I agree, but I think you’re missing the point here.

Carr will not take a paycut unless MAYBE you can work a deal for Adams. It would accomplish two things which is get Carr to take a paycut, and get an X receiver to take pressure off Olave. I’m not saying sign Adams for multiple years, do a 1 year 10 million or whatever Carr is willing to give up from his salary for him. If DC is not willing to give up any salary, then he doesn’t get Adams, simple as that.

Maybe. But if Carr is only taking a pay cut to sign Adams then it's a zero sum game. All we get is the money to sign an old player in decline. What we need is money to fix the OL, build depth, and build the defense. A deal like that doesn't really do much for the team because it only gets you money to sign Adams who doesn't appear to be close to the player he was. Is he better than our third string guys? Sure, but IMO we need to get younger, cheaper, and start developing young WR talent, not signing older players looking for their last paychecks.

If Adams is will to play for near vet minimum, fine, but otherwise I just don't see the point and it blocks us from developing younger players. But I don't see Adams taking a deal close to that.

As far as Carr, he just needs to take a pay cut so we can build the rest of the team and there should be no guarantees what we do with the money. He either wants to be on a winning team or he doesn't. And it's really hard to have a winning team when you have a mediocre QB making $40 million this year.
