More thoughts for the OP? He seems to have left a bag of **** on the doorstep and then disappeared.

Don’t stub your toe now!

Disappointed. Friday night is always best for a post from an angry wife who logs into her husband’s account wondering where he is and calling him out.

I don’t get why they felt the need to file the Police Report to begin with, versus just contact Cook directly?

A good player can’t be letting asses slip through their hands

He’s gotten his payday from the Dolphins, so now going to pull a Davante and force his way to a better playing situation 🤮

Rumors here are that Raiders haven’t gotten any offers better than a 4th rd pick: https://www.raidersbeat.com/host-shares-what-he-is-hearing-on-the-raiders-top-trade-offers-for-davante-adams/

Was there more that you’ve been told, since you were told that the deal was off?

Or when Andre Reed personally convinced OBJ to come play for the Bills Also, Davante grew up in the Bay Area and played college ball at Fresno St, both of which aren’t far from Firebaugh. Maybe Josh can put on his Northern California charm and the two can bond over that??? 😍

Maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see where Davante is actually following Josh on his twitter.

Week 3 is apparently our lucky number. This year against Jax was pretty solid too.

The more palatable contract for Cooper alone also means the buyer pool can be larger as well, which can actually drive up the asking price on Cooper. Because of Adam’s’ contract, the pool of buyers for the Raiders is certainly smaller, unless either they eat some money and/or Adams is willing to re-work his deal. We know that the Raiders want to trade Adams and supposedly for a 2nd in return. We have no idea whether the Browns are actually selling yet, and if so, what they would want for Cooper. So if the Bills would be happy with either but can land Adams now for what they think is a fair deal, they should take the bird in the hand.

Cooper has been in the league 10 yrs, and has 687 catches for 9,694 yards (14.1 Y/R) and 62 TDs. He turned 30 in June. Adams has been in the league 11 yrs, and has 890 catches for 10,990 yards (12.3 Y/R) and 96 TDs. He turns 32 this December, so a year and a half older than Cooper. I really don’t value the age gap to matter much at all, since both players would likely be one year rentals anyway. But, Davante has way more catches and TDs than Cooper throughout his career. Maybe that suggests he’d help us move the sticks more effectively and be a more dangerous red zone target too?

If it takes throwing Elam into a deal to make a trade for Davante happen, you throw Elam in there. Davante would bring way more value than Elam ever will. Elam is insurance, Davante would be our WR1 immediately.

Who do you have in mind?

If we trade for a WR, we’re cutting one anyway. And Elam is doing very little for that team too. So it doesn’t sound that crazy here.

LOL. Would you have traded Diggs, Elam, MVS & a 5th for Adams? That’s effectively what the trade is in my mind, which I don’t think is that ridiculous. Elam and MVS mean very little to this team, and Diggs obviously wanted to be elsewhere.

And Elam still hasn’t sniffed the starting lineup. Why would you hold onto him, when your WR corps is suffering and you have a chance to land someone like Davante for the rest of this season?

If the players were Elam and one of our WRs, why not?

https://steelersdepot.com/2024/10/schefter-davante-adams-trade-unlikely-to-occur-this-week/ Here’s how Davante is traded to us by next Tuesday: 1. Raiders beat Steelers 2. Bucs beat Carr-less Saints 3. We pound the Jets It will then be clear to Davante that in terms of winning, Buffalo should be his preferred destination. There’s one less week of salary to figure out then too, although Vegas will still need to absorb a good amount depending on if his deal is reworked in some way. Only question is if we pound the Jets, will we have less urgency to trade for him then?

Maybe BBB said we’ll give you one of our 2nd rounders, but we’ll need you to work with us on the cash piece. If no one else is willing to match a 2nd rounder, give me a call. That would be an offer and then monitoring….

Perfect, see you next season!
