Absolutely. Imagine being forced to root for a rapist that sucksThank goodness for that pertaining to the Watson trade.
Yeah…it’s given them a few 1sts in a heartbeat. Dude is arguably the best defensive player in the NFLMan I'd do almost anything to get that guy.
NO team he goes to is going to take on the remainder of his contract. NO TEAM. He's going to have to rework that contract no matter where he goes. NO ONE is paying him 35 + mil in 25 and 26Unless his 2nd father can convince him to take a reworked deal for way less money, not sure that much matters.
Where in all of God's creation do you get 71mil????If we trade for Adams I will be disappointed. Wide receiver isn't our problem, and trading for $71mm over the next two seasons will be a major problem.

Trading for Adams (when you are trying to get out of salary cap hell) is like that gif of the sheep being rescued from the ditch and then jumping right back into it,
Getting Adams makes sense because: We have a few players that are in the last couple yrs of playing @ a high level. Demario, 2 yrs most. AK 2yrs super outside chance of 3. Honey Badger, 2 yrs most. Taysom, 2yrs most. Lattimore 2yrs then he'll start to decline if he has not before then. Carr, 2-3 yrs and the decline starts.I just don't know how to feel about this. Part of me says to hell with it, yolo, let's get him. That's the emotional Who Dat in me. Real life Madden baby! Let's go! Davante Adams is awesome!
But the rational side of me is like, what are we talking about right now? How is this a thing? This isn't Madden. We can't be out there making trades willy nilly. Our cap is a wreck and I don't think this will help. Davante Adams is great and all but if our O line can't protect Carr then how much of a difference can a WR make?
So I've prepared two reactions. If we do indeed trade for Adams it will be the single greatest trade in Saints history. We got him for a bargain when you really think about it. The NFC is wide open and with Adams we could very well win the whole damn thing.
If he goes somewhere else then thank god. We dodged a bullet on this one. They gave up way too much for a 31 year old WR on a mega deal. Once again some team saved the Saints from themselves. With our O line issue we were going to be a legitimate contender.
I think the negotiate through the press with leaks is overstated. The Raiders and Adam's agents are both telling every interested team what their best offers are. If the Saints are making the best offer, then the Raiders and Adam's agents are both telling the Jets and other teams exactly what the Saints are offering, so what would be gained by leaking "strategic information" to the press?“Most aggressive” makes me think we are coming in with the strongest bid, potentially. Hopefully we aren’t just being used as leverage though.
Agents/teams like to strategically leak these things to the likes of Ian.

When you're selling a house, do you leak information to the local news or do you tell all of the interested parties exactly what your best offer is? When you want a raise at work, do you "strategically leak" information to co-workers or do you talk to the people who can authorize a raise? If you're "strategically leaking" information to your co-workers to get a raise, you should seriously rethink that strategy.
