Saints at the top of Davante Adams’ wish list [Raiders trade Adams to Jets for conditional 3rd ; Jets paying Adams’ entire remaining salary] (2 Viewers)

Why does he talk about the Lions like they have the lineage of the Cowboys, Steelers, or 49ers?
Heck, Detroit isn’t a long time playoff contender.
Less than five years ago, they were at the bottom of the League.

For real. I used to cheer for the Lions whenever we weren't playing them, now . . . I find it hard to cheer for them because of their punk arse albeit very talented WR.

They do if they have a no trade clause, but I don't know if DA2 has one.

He does not, but it sounds like the Raiders plan to do right by him and honor his input.

While no trade clauses help, if a player says "I will literally not play for X team", that will basically end any chance of said team trying to acquire the player.

It's not some unsourced rumor that Adams' top two destinations are the Saints and Jets. That leak absolutely came from his agent to let the league know where he wants to be first.

Yep. Adam is as credible as they come, and usually “league sources” = agent. This was intentional; they’re making it known.

What's his deal with hatin on the Saints? Good player not understanding What's the issue with the Saints.

That's kind of weird being that his brother is on the Saints practice squad.

 

[Rouxble]

Yeah, but they want to trade him soon and get some value from him. If he gets injured, it could torpedo his trade value.

I agree, my post was more about the Raiders not worried about his $35m next year the same way we aren’t worried (cap issues aside) about Kamara’s $22m due next year. If you want to preserve his trade value, you keep him sidelined (heard he is already ruled out for Sunday).

What we are missing is a bigger receiver that can make contested catches. Shaheed isn't good at it and Olave has improved, but he's too light in the arse to truly battle for a high point ball. Because MT isn't here, we need that type of receiver and Adams has a history with Carr. I would love this move.

 

[BreesusSaves]

The good news for us is that it will be extremely obvious if Adams is going to be a Saint because we'll see some notable restructures and extensions for Saints players before it is announced.

In all honestly, I think that’s all it is…him ribbing his brother.

He’s taken it too far though and I want he and his squad eliminated. lol

Hopefully da Raidahs start up the chimney smoke….



Waiting on that white smoke….

Except for when contracts are traded or terminated. Those bonuses come due right away.

Now if you're talking that WE would be restructuring it and taking the cap hit later then you would be correct. But that would make an already terrible cap situation in 2025 even worse. Remember, we are going to be dealing with Cam, Ramczyk, Lattimore, AK, and others. I don't think it's worth it.

From what I understand, converting salary to roster bonus doesn’t change the cash payment schedule for the converted amount (would be paid weekly just like salary), and the club isn’t obligated to pay the player any sooner even if they are released or traded. The cap charges will accelerate, but not the actual cash payments.

There’s no if, hell be a Saint b4 it’s all said and done. I can guarantee it

But will you?

also this little piece of info: Adams’ ability to excel in the slot — in 2021, 608 yards of his 1,553 yards came from there — makes him an intriguing option to pair with Olave and Shaheed on the outside. Adams also played in a similar offense under coach Matt LaFleur in Green Bay.

When people were calling MT slant boy, Adams had a higher yards per depth average from the slot. So if MT was slant boy, Adams is slant man.

Yea signing Adams is a no brainer. It’s a one year rental. Technically 12 games. Then you let him go into free agency or restructure him. (Depending on what happens). Let’s at least manufacture some juice for the O.

As long as we don't mess up our future when we are trying to be frugal and get the cap back into good shape, I'm down with the sickness.
