Proposed Trade Reunites Raiders’ $140 Million Star With Derek Carr on Saints
Adams is a player who wants to win. He’s 30 now and hasn’t had a chance to get to the Super Bowl. With the Raiders seemingly headed in the wrong direction, ESPN’s Dan Graziano questioned in a June 30 column if the star wide receiver will want to stay long-term. If Adams ends up requesting a trade, there will be no shortage of teams interested in him. In a July 7 column, Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine pitched a trade that would send Adams to the New Orleans Saints for a 2024 first-round pick and 2025 third-round pick, which give him another chance to play with quarterback Derek Carr.

Re: Proposed Trade Reunites Raiders’ $140 Million Star With Derek Carr on Saints
The guy has a pretty huge contract. Idk if I’d want that mess. We have good WRs in house already. Especially if MT actually plays this year. I think it would be nice to have Adams. But maybe a too much of an investment in an area where we seem to be pretty strong.

Yet another example of lazy MSM reporters wanting to use the Saints as a patsy trade recipient to offload crazy high bad contracts for players that don't deserve it. Loomis hasn't fallen for it yet... and I doubt he will.
The same can said for the Pelicans, btw. What's up with these lazy sports writers? | |

I would be willing to trade Thomas, Peat, Hill, Kamara, and Winston for Adams and Jacobs if the NFL would create a special exception to help us absorb the $100 million cap hit.

Couldn't trade parameters be set such that the offloading team takes on most of the cap implications? Not that there weren't be any with your trade scenario ...

Re: Proposed Trade Reunites Raiders’ $140 Million Star With Derek Carr on Saints
Once money has already been paid and prorates to present and future years I think it can’t be transfered and all hits immediately if the player is traded. Most in addition to their original signing bonuses, most of our players had their salaries the last few years converted to $1 million with $9-19 restructure bonuses. Another team can take on the salary but like i said the salary is $1 million. Another team could take on future guaranteed bonuses and future guaranteed salaries that are often applicable to new contracts, money that has not been paid yet, but that would be more of something Derek Carr has. I think most of our obligations are prorated bonuses like say a player signed in 2020 and restructed in 2021, 2022, and 2023 they may have 4 untransferable bonuses prorated across 2023 and 2024.

Maybe we could still trade for Hunter Renfroe. I could live with that. I don't think that Devante Adams isn't the answer to our receiver questions. Derek Carr is building good chemistry with Olave already. Let him build good chemistry with the rest of the WR's and get their timing down with the young bucks that need the reps.
