Jets planning to either trade or release Devante Adams

No thanks. If we go after a higher tier WR, it should be Metcalf

Yes, let's get DK and Davante along with Garrett.  One can dream...

Got a padded wall, I love me jacket and some nice calm sounds just for you and if that doesnt work, can get out the big needle.

Adams would never come to the Bills, and it's a poor fit anyway.

 

If you think Diggs was bad, go watch "Receiver" on Netflix and get back to me.

Man imagine your salary is gonna be 38 million and you are one the best in the league at your position and your employer is like "nah" and you get fired

Any GM trading for him should be immediately fired.

The last 2 that traded for him got fired, so this checks out

I wonder if he still has a Taco Bell in his house 

[T master]

At 32 yrs old does he still have enough left in the tank ? I know he was great when he was in GB with Rogers but I haven't heard a lot of noise from him since and I feel Josh has always reminded me to have a lot of the same tools Rogers had in his prime only a bit tougher so if he does have anything left it could be a good get .

 

Also is he better than Coop ?

 

Cooper is 2 years younger than Adams and they are both about the same height & weight but Cooper is a bit faster than Adams and has had great production through out his career so would it be better to sign Coop because he already knows the offense and has time working with Josh which is a plus .

But what if you want Garrett and a WR?  If you get use lots of draft capital to get Garrett (or Crosby) then the FO would probably only want to use money.

 

Of the FA WRs (or soon to be), D Adams is probably the top available.  And I would rate D Adams above Cooper and even Godwin.

It’s not always about getting the best of everything you can get. The Bills only have so many valuable assets to give. Sure they can grab Metcalf and give up a pick or two and that’d be great but that also probably takes them out of the DE trade market while Adams will come free from an asset standpoint besides salary 

[SCBills]

Just watching Cooper and watching Adams last year, I'd take Adams. 

 

Probably not fair to Cooper, as he was dealing with a pretty serious wrist injury, but as others pointed out... Adams, if released, just costs money.  If the number is right, would we rather pay him and keep our picks or trade for DK?

 

Guess it depends what DK goes for?  A 2nd or a 4th... this conversation is very different depending on the compensation.

Yeah, that is a bit of a problem.  Seemed like in a few episodes Adam's true colors came out and is was all about his targets/catches.

 

I may have to revise my wish list.  If the Bills can get a big fish DE then I might put C Kupp above Adams because of culture and fit.

Kupp is similar to Shakir. I think his being on the roster would be redundant

Yes, I can see that as a slight problem.  But Kupp is a good player and J Brady and Josh would just have to adjust to make it work.  Plus the Bills seem to have very little depth behind Shakir who is a very important part of the offense.

 

Kupp/Rams could offer Beane a lot to work with in terms of negotiating a contract.  Looks like on spotrac Kupp has a $12.5M base salary

 

From a Bills fan perspective, Kupp is a lot easier to root for than Adams.

I think with his Cap its gonna be a release...  as far as following Rodgers... I am not ruling this out... but he did that once... I would be a bit leery of this...

I hope that would come with a plumbing upgrade!

He's the WR I hope that Coleman can eventually grow into.  I think he'll have more enticing offers elsewhere but would love to have him here.

 

Good post!  I had not thought of this, but look at Adams' stats his first 2 years with Green Bay:

 

 

Now look at Coleman's stats his rookie year with the Bills:

 

29 receptions, 556 yards, 19.2 average, 4 TD, Long 64

He's likely following Rodgers. And even if he doesnt, no way we get him. Which is dumb on his part given what he's been through with crap orgs like Vegas and the Jets. But whatevs.

I get theyre buddies, but after last season why the heccc would he follow Aaron?  I doubt hes ever been accused of being a MENSA member, but Rodgers missed him a ton.

 

Jets:

11games // 67 rec on 114 targets // 58% Compl% // 854 yds // 7 td's (OK this last one jumped out after seeing it)

Cant remember and too dumb to read Spotrac:

 

Did the Jets give him a new deal or did the Jets inherit this only???

The Jets have no leverage at this point. They will be fortunate to get a 5th in return. 

Would they trade him for next to nothing just to keep him away from us or AFCE?  It might not be that easy for Jets

 

Although, he does NOT HAVE a no trade clause, he flexed his muscle into being traded to Jets, so I'm assuming he'll have leverage on where he goes.

No thanks for that. price. Rather take my chances with Amari Cooper and the draft or a different free agent 

I tended to agree off the top of my head, and still do mostly..... but I fell victim to the old & (moistly expensive) WR's hype- and lumped him in with Hopkins, Beckham, Cupp, even Amari .  He did a lot more with Jets in 11 games than I realized.  Id still proceed with major caution but:

we pelted him with snowballs. Someone say sorry and maybe he comes here

Boos on the road are cheers at home.  Maybe we'll shower him with Gabriels Gate wings ?

Devils advocate a bit here:

 

Youre on the Raiders.  Unserious franchise, bad coach, bad owner, bad QB.  You're money driven, and your team is TRAAAASH with nothing to play for quickly.  I want the ball, cause Im a WR, but also cause last payday.  I could see a poor attitude like "5-12 or 4-13; who cares, gimme the ball at least"
