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

I wonder if the saints picked up Da, then let him walk after this year, that the Saints would gain a compensatory pick (3rd round) like San Fran did when they signed Chase Young mid year? Getting a 3rd back could offset the 3rd we’d give up.
Not if the remaining years are still on his contract.
 
You’re wrong….you are presenting a scenario as if it is a done deal….and we are much more than one good aging WR away from being contenders, it makes no sense at all to me….but carry on…..

This team has failed to make the playoffs 2 years running and suddenly we are one WR away from being a contender? Lunacy…..
Well, we could’ve been 4-0 with a couple of plays here and there. So no, it’s not a stretch to think we would be contenders with Adams. All I’ve heard on here the past two weeks, was how the offense “couldn’t hold up their end of the bargain”. Well Adams plays offense and he plays it pretty well. Lunacy
 
2 weeks ago everyone had us on the top of their super bowl potential list and there was people saying we are the best in the NFC.

We have among the best point diff in all of football.

How are we not in contention?

We are tied for first in the division.


Y'alls self-doubt about the team is weird.



Go get DA and win the super bowl.
 
Rumors have it that the last snag in negotiations between the Saints and Raiders making a deal on Davantae Adams hinges on his abbreviated name here at SR.🤔

Dennis Allen owns the SR moniker of D.A. Some SR members are not willing to change while others have suggested a change to Dumb-A and yet others suggesting a title for Allen fitting with the respect Sean Payton receives here by referring to him as CDA.

Adams wants the D.A. moniker dropped here altogether so there is not any confusion.

He wants to be known here as Devine Acquisition!

Make it Happen Loomis!
 
This team isn't Davante Adams away from the Super Bowl. The pass rush and OL aren't good enough.

If they can get Adams for a good price fine, make the deal. But they shouldn't mortgage the future for a 32 year-old WR when they refuse to pay their 29 year-old RB or extend his contract. If they are going to mortgage the future to pay an older player, I'd rather give that money to Kamara over Adams, And, an Adams deal likely means they won't pay Kamara. So, that's the likely trade off.
The current offensive line isnt good enoguh, but when we get full strength we DEFINITELY are a Superbowl contender. 100%
 
When healthy, we are as good as any team in the NFC. So, adding Adams will surely help this team make the playoffs. The key is the health of guys like Taysom, Ruiz, McCoy, Kamara. I still think SF has the best team, but we can beat any of them.
Speaking of the 9ers, they currently have the most cap space available for this season. I wouldn't be surprised if they pull the trigger on a deal for Adams without having the Raiders eat any of his salary. He could be a rental for them just like Chase Young was last year.
 
Spot on. And it's unfortunately widely known in the league and the talking heads (see Amon Ra St. Brown and Emmanuel Acho) that the Saints are not contenders for the playoffs, let alone a Super Bowl so going in for Devante Adams really, financially, makes no sense. There are much more glaring needs to be addressed than a WR. And no, Dennis Allen and company are not Super Bowl caliber. Like you, I hope I'm wrong but......

The Saints acquiring Devante Adams is like me trying to buy a Ferrari. I really want it but I can't afford it and it's not going to help me day to day..........
Having Adams is not gonna help the Saints? Lmao.
 
Well, we could’ve been 4-0 with a couple of plays here and there. So no, it’s not a stretch to think we would be contenders with Adams.

And having Adam’s on the field makes us 4-0, like guaranteed? it’s been the same every year the last few years and it’s the difference between making the playoffs and sitting at home is always a couple of plays here and there…..until this Saints team can break the spell of winning tight ball games against decent to good teams (and I sure hope they do) no matter who’s on the field, then I’m not about to say they are a WR away from being a contender…..

And how do you think the team can try and break the spell??? It’s called making an upgrade.
I’m sure if your car isn’t getting maximum fuel economy, then you just “keep doing what you’re doing”.
 
I didn't say Adams is not gonna help the Saints. I said that there are much more glaring needs to be addressed than a WR.

If Carr has no time to throw the ball due to a depleted O-line, a WR, regardless of who they are, can't help.
Are there any players available for trade that would be worth acquiring that would address those needs?

And we signed a starting caliber center this week, so if the rest of the line can get healthy enough, we should be in reasonable enough shape to keep Carr protected long enough to get the ball out on time. And Adams can definitely help with that. Not to mention how thin we are at WR behind Olave and Shaheed.

While I don't know that we're 4-0 with Adams, I do think it's obvious that we'd be 4-0 if McCoy had not gone down. Certainly having Hill fully available would have helped as well.

Right. A WR isn't going to help guys on both lines with their fundamentals or give them latent they don't have. The O line is getting blown up and forcing rushed throws and the D line doesn't get to other teams QBs. So I don't understand throwing future money and future assets at a position that won't improve those problems this year. It's better to sit tight, don't fudge the cap anymore and keep our picks.

Again, they picked up a starting caliber center this week, and that hopefully will right the ship to some degree. He's not at McCoy's level, but he's a guy who is a competent center and this allows the rest of the line to play the way they were before McCoy went down.

The weaknesses are being addressed, but we really do need another WR2 to take some attention off of Olave.
