One of the great things, DRS, about the way the NFL calendar works each and every week,
00:08
when you get to Tuesday and Wednesday, speculation builds up.
00:11
It's injury reports, it's practice reports, maybe it's trade rumors.
00:15
That's the case now with Devontae Adams saying he prefers to be dealt from Las Vegas.
00:22
Did let it be leaked yesterday what his preferred destinations are.
00:27
It should be no surprise.
00:28
New York, a reunion with the Jets and Aaron Rodgers, or back with his best bud from his
00:34
Fresno State days and early on in Las Vegas, Derek Carr in New Orleans.
00:41
Here is the rumored and reported interest in Devontae Adams.
00:45
Just because he has listed his two preferred destinations does not mean that's all the
00:49
Raiders are listening to at this moment.
00:52
The Steelers were in the running for Brandon Aiyuk.
00:55
They're interested.
00:56
The Cowboys, not so much.
00:58
They also don't really have the money to pay Devontae Adams salary, although it made
01:03
a lot of sense for the Chiefs to be a reportedly interest team.
01:07
They are not, not involved, not expected to be there.
01:11
They're a divisional foe of Las Vegas.
01:14
The commander's unknown, I guess, is what we're listing it as.
01:19
DRS, what do you make of the speculation around Devontae Adams?
01:23
Yeah, let's start here first with the Raiders.
01:26
Coming into this season, oh, it's re-signed Minshew, and AOC is the other quarterback.
01:31
They're going to battle it out in training camp.
01:33
Let's see what happens here.
01:34
And then you say you have Devontae Adams at wide receiver.
01:37
And we all thought that the Raiders would absolutely flat-out stink this season.
01:40
They're 2-2, and you know what?
01:41
At the end of the season, they're going to flat-out stink.
01:44
But let's go back to what they had.
01:46
They had their own form of the triplets.
01:47
Jacobs in the backfield, Devontae Adams at wide receiver with his best friend and quarterback,
01:51
Derek Carr.
01:52
I guarantee you, Ben, coming into this season, if that was still their trio, you'd be saying
01:56
this, you know what?
01:57
Chance the Raiders can make the playoffs here.
01:59
Like what I'm saying, a couple years under already, building that process.
02:03
This is the way you handle it.
02:04
Now, it looks like all three are going to be gone, and they're going to be terrible.
02:06
Now, as we say, where does he want to go?
02:08
Of course, wide receivers, quarterbacks, cornerbacks, whatever it might be, they would love to pick
02:13
where they go.
02:14
But let's understand this.
02:15
Devontae Adams makes a lot of money on his contract right now.
02:18
You know what happens where Devontae goes, yeah, I'm going to pick my team.
02:21
I'm going to go to the Jets.
02:22
And, oh, Jets, by the way, when you trade me, you see how the other wide receivers are
02:25
getting paid.
02:26
I don't have any more guaranteed money left on my contract.
02:28
Yes, it's like $35 million.
02:29
Why don't you say you guarantee that and bump my number up even more than that?
02:34
Who's going to want to pay for that?
02:35
Oh, Devontae Adams is 26 years old in his prime.
02:38
No, he's in his 30s here, still in his prime.
02:40
But how many more years does he have being effective, dominant, number one wide receiver?
02:45
That's the first thing.
02:46
And also, let's start with the New York Jets, where he actually wants to go to.
02:50
It doesn't make any sense.
02:52
Garrett Wilson was drafted to be your long-term number one option, and he's a quality wide
02:56
receiver.
02:57
So are we saying that Alan Rodgers already put out, hey, look, I don't think Garrett
03:00
can play football here.
03:02
Let's bring in Mike Williams.
03:03
I need another wide receiver on the opposite side.
03:05
Might as well cut him loose, too.
03:06
You already brought in Alan Lazard and everybody else.
03:09
It doesn't make sense.
03:11
They're not one player away, the New York Jets.
03:12
You know where they're one player away?
03:14
Get some help on the offensive line.
03:15
If the Jets instead of going, you know what, Devontae, we're not going to spend money
03:17
or trade for you.
03:18
We're going to go trade for two legitimate offensive linemen so my quarterback doesn't
03:23
get beaten to a pulp on Sunday afternoons.
03:26
How about that?
03:27
So just starting with the Jets, it makes no sense to get Devontae Adams on the Jets.
03:32
Why would you do that?
