Davante Adams trade speculation…UPDATE: Schefter says no chance he is traded today (link pg 17)

[Alphadawg7]

There seems to be a growing sentiment that Adams may want out and that Raiders could explore a trade.

 

Im not normally one to say go get someone like him between trade costs and cap space…but, he’s still dominant and a duo of him and Diggs with Allen at QB would be unreal.  
 

Now let me be clear, I’m fully aware the odds of this are slim to none, especially from a cap perspective, and I think the Bills are fine right now in terms of overall weapons anyway.  But Bills were a team mentioned as one of 7 in a report talking about who should pursue him if traded and that just got me day dreaming of Diggs and Adams lined up on the field together with Allen 🤤
 

But hey, even though I know it won’t likely happen…let’s pretend Beane made the cap stuff work and wanted to pull the trigger…I would offer them Davis and our 2024 2nd without a second thought.  
 

A guy can dream can’t he lol

I'd love to see it but they've used too much cap other places to make it happen.

Let’s get this  to 100 by Sunday….

You could probably throw Elam in there too seeing that he's inactive every week 

[mrags]

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

why not

 

the cap is a malleable thing

 

 

[BuffaloBillyG]

We can have Rapp pick him up from the airport. They've met before, I believe.😂

 

In seriousness there are 2 reasons I'd love this and 2 reasons I'd hate this.

 

Love:

1. This matchup nightmares it would give. Who do you double? How do you cover them both, out TEs and Cook outta the backfield?

 

2.  It would be an "all in" moment. Something big and splashy and that's just fun. A new toy on offense always breeds excitement.

 

Hate:

1. Never liked Adams. Always comes across as a "me first" kind of guy. Not sure how well that would blend.

 

2. I happen to have Adams and Diggs as my WRs in fantasy. Really could use them each being their teams #2 guy unquestionably.

I would offer them the entire draft class

[Captain Hindsight]

We may have to cut Rapp

[Mark Vader]

Josh McDaniels is a great coach.

[Warriorspikes51]

not sure what they could do cap wise.....but yes please

hopefully KC being in their division all but rules them out

[GunnerBill]

If there is a way to do it short term I'm in (like him agreeing his contract becomes voidable after this season on a team option in order for him to join a contender.)

 

The reality is that is unlikely and he is a year older than Stef.

[stevewin]

Harty and a 5th

[Buffalo_Stampede]

They aren’t replacing Gabe Davis while he’s on the roster. We’ve already seen this.

Have we? Because there were reports the Bills were in on D-Hop.

Where did Hop sign?

[Einstein's Dog]

With respect to in-season trade targets I would rather have Mike Evans, and Mike Evans is more realistic IMO.

 

I think the Bills want someone who can accept being #2 on our team, have a contract that overlaps Diggs by a year at least (for Diggs insurance- he has shown some stability problems, much as D Adams is kind of doing).  And there is a budget, probably a flexible budget but it doesn't seem to be unlimited.
