Surprised they did it but think it was probably for the best.

Gimme Darren Waller as part of that trade package

Too bad we couldn't get a 1st and Waller

Assume we have some back up options in mind

Smart move, pending the picks.

Raiders worst team in their division

So does this open up cap enough to add Will Fuller and JuJu -esque moves?

Chad34 · Post #1331 » by **Chad34** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 11:52 pm

how does this trade affect the cap?

Yeah, I would have loved a 1st this year and a 1st next year.

I would have loved Waller and a 1st even more, but that is asking for a bit much.

The NFC West is gonna be so fun to watch.

It's hard enough to win when 1 guys is eating up a huge % of your cap. An Adams deal would've been 2 guys making up an even larger %. That's just too hard to do. Factor in Adams injury history, and the team's record when he sits out with said injuries, this is an easy pill to swallow.

This I don't believe.

I don't think you can win a trade if you trade somebody as good as Adams, but the cap is the cap and 30m is a hell of a lot for a WR. Everything needs a holistic lens in the NFL.

FWIW, maybe this'll force Rodgers to throw to someone else once in a while.

First mock draft I look at to see the Raider's pick at #22 is for Chris Olave. That works.

Chad34 · Post #1338 » by **Chad34** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 11:54 pm

this might make the offense better(half joking) don't we have a pretty good record without davante? Rodgers has to look other places

But but but, it's Aaron Rodgers who is a jerk and kills puppies !!!

It was a smart move for the franchise --- and good riddance Davante.

So for starters, I get it. That's a huge contract, he's oft-injured, and we can't afford to pay everyone we need with that much money tied up in Rodgers and Adams.

I'm surprised Rodgers was on board coming back without Rodgers. TBH I think it kind of lends itself even more to this being more about money and his ego, but I guess we'll see where this lands. And it's neither here nor there at this point - just an observation.

But what now? Market is pretty dried-up at WR now. We certainly won't find a #1 - not that there was one anyways. Is the draft loaded at wideout? I hadn't been following this year.
