If you want a #1, you go get Devante Adams

Let him stay where he is this year.  He won't make a difference for us this year, and he won't be playing on his current contract next year anyway.

His salary goes from 16 million this year to 35 million next year.  No way the Raiders swallow that.  They save 36 million on their cap next year by designating him post 6/1.  Only QB's are worth that money - even as good as he is.

It doesn't really make sense for Adams. Why would he want to spend the twilight of his career on a trash team with a QB who is still learning the position? Why a guy is on the tail end of his career he's thinking about the SB, and going to teams with experienced QBs. Why would he uproot his whole life to come to the poop Panthers? Why would he want to bring his family to Charlotte? Some extra money and losing? He's already filthy rich.

We're trapped right now with a bad team that's probably going 0-17. The time to prepare and trade was before this season started. Fitt made 0-17 type moves, and now we take our medicine. Major changes to this team can be made once this dreadful season comes to a merciful end. Priority one will be obtaining a #1 WR who is not in his 30s, and can be lured with piles of cash.

Adams, their 1st and 25' 2nd and I'd be good with that. 

Adams and their 1st for Burns. Burns is worth two 1st round picks. Adams is worth one 1st. Get it done so Bryce can get on the right track. His development over the next 5 years is the most important thing for this franchise.

Nobody gives up their WR in free agency? Adams was had bc he was part of a really costly trade. Diggs, Hill same story…#1 receivers don’t hit free agency. So no matter what a trade is going to have to happen or we’re going to be waiting years on a draft prospect to turn into a #1.

LOL this is just a no on so many levels

Adams would be so unhappy here, you don't trade for a player who is unhappy losing on a better team than ours.

The Raiders are NOT trading their first round pick next year for the right to pay a monster contract to a pass rusher when they have a better pass rusher already on the roster and might need that draft pick to take a new QB.

LOL best pot calling the kettle black moment in the history of message boards

You can't be referring to me. I'm on the keep Burns go for Higgins in FA bandwagon.

 

Besides that I haven't even suggested any other trades unless you talking about my Justin Fields backup idea?

It was the Madden comment, the same thing I say all the time about you, that you only talk about things as if it's a real life game of Madden, never anything realistic because you severely lack an understanding of things like the cap and what real life NFL teams are trying to do (like your Fields idea, that's Madden, not real life)

LMAO this guy.

 

Can we reach common ground on anything?

    • Every single player to ever play in the league has had a “welcome to the NFL, rook” moment.  Every. Single. One.
    • I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.
    • I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
