Davante Adams

Excluding maybe the Giants, Bears and Panthers I don’t believe there isn’t a team in the NFC that is not capable of making a deep playoff run. Who scares anyone over here. I mean Sam Darnold and the Vikings are the best team right now. It’s wide open so I say one big name player could make a small difference.

What good is it if the offensive line can't give the QB more than 2 seconds or properly block in the run game to keep the defense from going for the QB every down?

Add him to the mix. We’re locked in with Carr anyway. Might as well try to maximize your firepower and see where it takes you.

Danno is correct.
If the Saints can improve the O-line and/or D-line before the trade deadline the Saints chances of getting to the playoffs improves.

Kick the tires and hopefully drive up the price for another team. It'd be pushing it to think we can afford him.

As many have already stated, you can’t trade for a commodity that is unavailable.

I'd like to keep our draft picks, but one of our needs along with DL and OL is another WR.
Trading for Adams takes that need off the table.

Whats more logical, a 2nd or 3rd round pick on a WR who may or may not stud out or acquiring Adams for that same 2nd or 3rd round pick?

I just might prefer Adams to a WR draft pick. Assuming everyone agrees we need another WR alongside Olave and Shaspeed.

The standard salary for a 2nd to 3rd round pick WR is significantly less than $36 million a year. So its not a 1:1 thing. We can have the draft pick and $34 million to spend on other players.

Looking at options from 2024 draft and free agency as examples vs Adams, would you rather have 32yo Adams or Adonai Mitchell, Darnell Mooney, Mile Williams, Derrick Henry, and $2 million to spare? I would take the 3 young players and the old RB over the old WR.
