I'll see you guys next week.
00:04
Forget about what you're going
00:05
to get. We'll talk about that a
00:06
second but if you're the
00:07
Raiders, would you trade
00:08
Devante Adams? I would. Yeah,
00:10
more than likely I would. More
00:12
than likely I would. He'll be
00:13
thirty-two. Uh I think it's
00:14
birthday is uh Christmas Eve.
00:15
So, thirty-two on December 24th
00:17
You're not going to, you're not
00:18
competing for uh Super Bowl
00:19
this year. Probably not
00:20
competing next year. I'm of
00:21
that belief, Scott. They're
00:23
they're quarterback of the
00:24
future. It's not even on the
00:25
team. Alright, he's probably
00:26
playing in college right now.
00:27
Alright, so they gotta get a
00:28
quarterback there and then you
00:29
know, that's that's now you're
00:30
thirty-three thirty-four.
00:31
You're done. Alright. So, yeah,
00:32
if I'm the Raiders, I do trade
00:34
him here. Uh so, we know all
00:35
the usual suspects. Look at
00:36
every team. Everybody that
00:37
wanted Brandon Ayuk now wants
00:38
Devante Adams. He's not going
00:40
to Kansas City boys and girls.
00:42
That's not happening. They're
00:43
not trading with the division.
00:44
That would be a shock. Let's
00:45
Kansas City way over pays here
00:47
and I don't even know if
00:48
Kansas City can fit him under
00:49
the cap anyway and one other
00:50
little tricky little thing.
00:51
He's got no guaranteed money
00:52
left on his contract. So, you
00:53
know, he's going to want a new
00:55
contract with guaranteed money
00:57
So, that has to be worked out
00:58
and that probably needs to be
00:59
worked out before the trade is
01:01
consummated. You know, that's
01:02
why everybody's happy here.
01:03
Listen, good morning. You're
01:04
bringing me. He's an unhappy
01:05
player. He he pulls the on
01:07
Reddit. Oh, happy to be here.
01:08
Not playing. Well, that's the
01:10
thing. You know, that Reddit
01:11
situation really, I think he's
01:12
got to open up a lot of general
01:14
manager's eyes, right? Like,
01:15
let's let's not trade for a guy
01:17
unless we absolutely want to
01:19
give him money no matter what he
01:20
says. Yeah, he and I and I don't
01:22
doubt for a second George with
01:23
the Jets with Reddit that he
01:25
said, yeah, yeah. You know what?
01:26
I'll come to New York. Get me
01:27
out of Philadelphia and I
01:29
understand this is probably
01:30
going to be a one-year deal but
01:32
I'm okay with that because
01:33
you're going to let me get my
01:34
sacks and this and that and then
01:35
I think once the trade was made
01:37
then he figured, alright, now I
01:38
got the hammer and now I'm going
01:40
to change my tune on that stuff
01:41
and let's see if you let me sit
01:42
out and the Jets seemingly are
01:44
going to let him sit out. So, I
01:46
if I'm a GM with Adams, I would
01:48
be a little leery with that
01:49
unless I was willing to give him
01:50
a new contract. Now, that said,
01:52
let's say a team is willing to
01:53
give him a new contract. What
01:55
would you be willing to give up?
01:56
If I'm the Raiders, knowing that
01:58
he doesn't have any more money
01:59
left and there isn't really a
02:01
financial tie to him at this
02:02
point, I'm not trading him for
02:04
less than a number one. I mean,
02:06
there are so few really like big
02:08
time, big time wide receivers.
02:10
He's in the top ten for sure.
02:12
He's a difference maker. You're
02:14
going to give me a number one to
02:15
get Devontae Adams. Otherwise,
02:16
I'm not trading. Well, he's not
02:18
going for a number one. Hell,
02:19
the Raiders already said that
02:20
they want a two plus. So, they
02:22
don't even want a number one.
02:23
They know they're not getting a
02:24
number one. Christian McCaffrey
02:26
didn't get a number one. He got
02:28
a two, three, and four. He's a
02:30
better player than Devontae Adams.
02:32
So, he didn't get it. Devontae
02:34
Adams is getting a number one. I
02:35
don't think they're getting a
02:36
number two. Not straight. I
02:38
imagine it's a three with, you
02:40
know, performance bonuses. Oh,
02:42
if he does this, that, the other
02:43
thing, it moves up to a number
02:45
two. That would be my guess
02:46
here. What the Raiders have going
02:48
for them is that, as you said,
02:50
there's competition for him. I
02:52
mean, just in the AFC East alone,
02:54
shouldn't the Jets and Bills be
02:55
fighting with each other over
02:56
him? You know, and once again, I
02:57
don't know if the Bills could
02:58
fit him under the cap. The Jets
03:00
we know can. The Commanders,
03:02
he's already said how much he
03:03
wants to, he wanted to, I was
03:04
hoping Daniels fell in with
03:05
draft, right? He was hoping
03:06
Daniels fell in with draft to
03:07
the Raiders so he could play
03:09
with them. And the Raiders have
03:10
a truckload of room under the
03:12
cap. And Daniels is playing so
03:13
well. Alright? That might make
03:15
some sense. Alright? Then, of
03:17
course, Pittsburgh, they want
03:18
that IU. Sure, they need
03:19
somebody there. New England, I
03:21
don't think there's any chance
03:22
in hell that Adam's going to
03:23
sign with New England. I just
03:24
don't see that. Then, you know,
03:26
a couple of smattering small
03:27
teams that could go after him.
03:28
I know Mathias, one of our
03:30
producers here, he wants to, he
03:31
thinks the Falcons should go
03:32
after him. Don't see that.
03:33
Cowboys, I'd be shocked. They
03:35
need him. But I don't think any
03:37
chance in hell they're going to
03:38
pony up. The draft pick
03:40
conversation plus the contract
03:42
it takes to get him. Alright,
03:43
so let's go back to the team
03:45
that's most logical. The
03:47
Kansas City Chiefs. I know
03:49
they're in the same division. I
03:50
get that. But you said it
03:51
yourself, George. They're not
03:52
going to compete for the
03:53
division. They're not going to
03:54
compete for a wild card spot.
03:56
So, what do they care if the
03:57
Raiders, you know, then they
03:58
send them to the Kansas City
03:59
Chiefs? And what if the Chiefs
04:01
do say, you know what? I'll
04:02
give you that number one. I
04:04
will because Devontae Adams on
04:06
Kansas City, that means another
04:08
Super Bowl to me. I mean, you
04:10
talk about an offense that's
04:11
just absolutely loaded. I mean,
04:14
would you give up a number one
04:16
pick to win another Super Bowl?
04:18
I would if I'm Kansas City. You
04:19
want our first pick? It's going
04:20
to be 32nd overall. Don't go
04:22
knock yourself out. I mean, it
04:23
beats a second rounder. I would
04:25
make that if I'm the Raiders, if
04:27
that's the best I can get. If
04:29
they're the best team that's
04:30
going to give me the best offer,
04:32
I don't care if they're in my
04:33
division because I'm not
04:34
competing this year anyway. And
04:36
maybe I'm realistically then not
04:37
even going to compete next year
04:38
if I'm going to go draft a
04:39
quarterback this year. So, by
04:41
the time I'm ready to compete,
04:42
Devontae Adams will be too old
04:44
and won't have any impact on me.
04:47
So, I'm making that trade if
04:48
Kansas City is willing to give
04:49
it up a number one. And if no
04:50
other teams are willing to give
04:51
a number one if I'm Kansas City,
04:53
here's my number one. I'll take
04:55
it and win another Super Bowl.
