Davante Adams

Cruize · 10-04-2024, 08:21 AM

It makes sense for this year's team. The defense is legit. The offense needs someone, anyone, to make a play besides Kamara, Olave Shaheed, and Hill who's now injured. The draft capital and cap implications to get Adams are just not good. He's 32. Hasn't played this season. I honestly don't think anyone will actually trade for him when it's all said and done.

Daniel has done well for himself after parlaying a career as a backup quarterback into a turn in the media, and he still has several old teammates and coaches in the building in New Orleans. He knows how Dennis Allen and his squad think.

So when Acho downplayed the Saints as a possible trade destination for Las Vegas Raiders wideout Davante Adams, Daniel pushed back.

“The Saints, they think they’re a contender,” Daniel refuted. “The Saints internally think they’re contenders.”

It doesn’t help Acho’s argument that Adams put the Saints and New York Jets at the top of his list of trade destinations, owing to his past experience with Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Daniel pointed to Carr’s positive relationship with Allen as another point in his favor.

Hopefully we can get Adams.

The Saints are all banged up. Lemieux, Grupe, Ruiz and Taysom Hill. I won't be surprised to see him land on IR.

We'll need more firepower

This team is 100% still in contention.

Trade deadline is Nov 5.

Let the offers come in. Let the hamstring heal.

For what its worth if we were to trade for an 30-something AFC player who wears the number 17, could be available on the trade market, would add a potent receiving threat to our offense, and is currently dealing with a hamstring injury, I would trade for Evan Engram. He is younger, would be cheaper, and we need a good TE more than we need a deep threat receiver. Engram had 963 yards receiving last year.

I found a fun comparison: legendary receivers Davante Adams and Julio Jones.

Julio Jones was traded to the Tennessee Titans in his Age 32 season in 2021. Titans fans were excited, age is only a number.

Davante Adams is expected to be traded in this his Age 32 season.

PFF scores in the 4 years leading up to and including the trade:

Julio Jones:
2017: 91.7
2018: 90.9
2019: 90.6
2020: 86.3
2021: 74.2

Davante Adams:
2020: 92.2
2021: 92.7
2022: 90.1
2023: 79.1
2024: 64.4 (so far)

Do we really want to get fleeced by the Raiders?

I’m not really on board with it if it comes with a huge price tag (which it probably will).

I'd rather save all of our draft capital and beef up the O line and D line in the draft.

We are getting beat up front on both sides of the ball. That's where it starts.

I'm hearing that "hamstring injury" would mysteriously disappear on a different roster. It won't be the first time, nor the last, that a player's agent has used that tactic to garner a trade.
