Davante Adams Calling OUT RAPP!

[1ManRaid]

With what cap space?

[Motorin']

I would have liked Jakobi Meyers. Hoping Kincaid can grow into the #2 possession receiving safety blanket. I think that'a what this offense is missing. 

 

 

[Big Turk]

Yes because in season the Bills are going to create 20 million in cap space...

 

FOR THE LAST TIME!!!! 

THIS IS NOT MADDEN, THIS IS REAL LIFE! 

THE NFL DOES NOT WORK LIKE MADDEN!

Saw somewhere they’d only need about $6 million to make the trade in season.

Rapp did a couple weeks ago. He did not like that 😕

That’s doable.

There’s also the matter of keeping him beyond this season. Also Adams’ salary is only $6M because of his signing bonus. That SB would create a huge cap hit for LV if they traded him now. So LV couldn’t trade him even if they’d want to - and I’m sure they don’t want to.

I guess. But like... have you just tried turning the cap off tho?

Was listening to ESPN radio this afternoon and they had him on talking about wanting a winning culture in Vegas. We always complain about our receivers outside of Diggs not getting enough separation. Could you imagine Diggs and Adams!? What does it take to pry him away and Wouldya?

I believe G Davis is failing his trial run for locking down the WR2 position.  While I would love getting D Adams I don't think it is in the budget range.  Seemed like OBJ and DHop were too expensive at the $12M range.

 

For the in-season trade candidates that I am hoping we are considering, it was a good week 3. 
Tampa is coming back to Earth quickly by being crushed, if that continues the M Evans hope can be brought back up (my personal top candidate).

J Meyers of Vegas is probably more realistic than Adams.  Meyers is around $11M year - and Raiders need draft capital to get a real QB - our Edmunds third should be more than enough (maybe have them eat some of the salary).

Denver stinks and one of C Sutton or J Jeudy should be available.

The Rams are headed downward and have an excess of WRs once C Kupp comes back - don't know how they could get Kupp though.

Yeah and it's less than that now.    If they were to trade for him 7-8 games in it would be about $4M.

 

I was going to start a thread about trading for Adams...........because it is probably the best potential all-in move they could make at the deadline..........but first there has to be some indication LV would consider it.  

 

Aside from Adams not adding speed to the table you'd be hard pressed to find a better way to upgrade the team in-season.   He is a legit first team All Pro and a threat at every level.   Can't even say that with a guy like Mike Evans.

 

Probably cost a 1 and a 2 for a team Adams would accept a trade to.......I would guess.     KC is the other team that could really use him but it would probably cost them 2 firsts or more if they would even consider a trade with their biggest rival(which I doubt).    That would be like KC trading Tyreek in division.........wasn't going to happen.

If its $6m to get him in season, pull whatever strings needed. Heck, proli means extending Daquan Jones and Dion Dawkins (whos played well) as a start:

Tre White + Gabe Davis and a 1st/2nd?

 

Hes signed through 2026, and the Raiders ARE Bill Obrien stupid too

I'm not down with trading those picks, tempting as it seems.

 Keep building.

Teams seem to draft pretty darned good receivers in the 1st and even second round. And moving around in the draft is okay.

We are not the Rams. Thank goodness

still building solid depth, and should be looking at next generation of critical starters via the draft.

I know , i make it sound simple lol

 

Bill need to be drafting wrs for the future. Cheap and effective.

Yeah that's the stock answer.

 

But remember that sometimes teams select 1st and 2nd round picks that end up being inactives and sometimes a second round pick gets traded for a swap of late round picks.

 

Not naming any names.

 

Adams is a pretty amazing football player.   He's actually better than Diggs,  who is GREAT.   They could recover from losing a couple picks for a nearly unstoppable player like that.

The deal Adams signed in 2022 is really more like a 3 year deal.

 

He is great but nobody is accepting those $35M base salary cap hits from 2025 on.

 

So you win with him this year and then either re-negotiate his contract or just add some dummy years to lower the $16.9M hit in 2024.

I say we keep pilfering from the Rams and see what Cooper Kupp would cost. They have his replacement in Puka Nacua.

I'd think he was upset because it was a 4TD lead with 3 minutes left and the game was over.

At that point everybody is just trying to get off the field healthy and Rapp going kamikaze on a meaningless play late in a decided game was unnecessarily dangerous.

 

Pros know you can't play the game half-speed. Best way to protect yourself is to play fast and physical, through every whistle.

 

Some accomplished pros might have the luxury of a bigger picture perspective on the game and their careers, but the majority of guys out there are DESPERATE to put the best reps on film no matter what the game situation is. They MUST take full advantage of every rep and put the best effort on film, every time. Rapp, a guy who has started a bunch of games for a VERY successful franchise, is now a backup and subpackage guy playing on a relatively modest, 1-year deal. He doesn't have the luxury of throttling down, ever, if he intends to get back on the field full-time. 

 

Davante Adams, in the prime of his career, forced his way OFF a winning franchise in order to get big money from a mediocre team. That's his right, for sure, but we can see that his perspective on the game differs dramatically from the vast majority of players. He can eff right off.
