00:00I'll see you guys next week.

00:04Forget about what you're going

00:05to get. We'll talk about that a

00:06second but if you're the

00:07Raiders, would you trade

00:08Devante Adams? I would. Yeah,

00:10more than likely I would. More

00:12than likely I would. He'll be

00:13thirty-two. Uh I think it's

00:14birthday is uh Christmas Eve.

00:15So, thirty-two on December 24th

00:17You're not going to, you're not

00:18competing for uh Super Bowl

00:19this year. Probably not

00:20competing next year. I'm of

00:21that belief, Scott. They're

00:23they're quarterback of the

00:24future. It's not even on the

00:25team. Alright, he's probably

00:26playing in college right now.

00:27Alright, so they gotta get a

00:28quarterback there and then you

00:29know, that's that's now you're

00:30thirty-three thirty-four.

00:31You're done. Alright. So, yeah,

00:32if I'm the Raiders, I do trade

00:34him here. Uh so, we know all

00:35the usual suspects. Look at

00:36every team. Everybody that

00:37wanted Brandon Ayuk now wants

00:38Devante Adams. He's not going

00:40to Kansas City boys and girls.

00:42That's not happening. They're

00:43not trading with the division.

00:44That would be a shock. Let's

00:45Kansas City way over pays here

00:47and I don't even know if

00:48Kansas City can fit him under

00:49the cap anyway and one other

00:50little tricky little thing.

00:51He's got no guaranteed money

00:52left on his contract. So, you

00:53know, he's going to want a new

00:55contract with guaranteed money

00:57So, that has to be worked out

00:58and that probably needs to be

00:59worked out before the trade is

01:01consummated. You know, that's

01:02why everybody's happy here.

01:03Listen, good morning. You're

01:04bringing me. He's an unhappy

01:05player. He he pulls the on

01:07Reddit. Oh, happy to be here.

01:08Not playing. Well, that's the

01:10thing. You know, that Reddit

01:11situation really, I think he's

01:12got to open up a lot of general

01:14manager's eyes, right? Like,

01:15let's let's not trade for a guy

01:17unless we absolutely want to

01:19give him money no matter what he

01:20says. Yeah, he and I and I don't

01:22doubt for a second George with

01:23the Jets with Reddit that he

01:25said, yeah, yeah. You know what?

01:26I'll come to New York. Get me

01:27out of Philadelphia and I

01:29understand this is probably

01:30going to be a one-year deal but

01:32I'm okay with that because

01:33you're going to let me get my

01:34sacks and this and that and then

01:35I think once the trade was made

01:37then he figured, alright, now I

01:38got the hammer and now I'm going

01:40to change my tune on that stuff

01:41and let's see if you let me sit

01:42out and the Jets seemingly are

01:44going to let him sit out. So, I

01:46if I'm a GM with Adams, I would

01:48be a little leery with that

01:49unless I was willing to give him

01:50a new contract. Now, that said,

01:52let's say a team is willing to

01:53give him a new contract. What

01:55would you be willing to give up?

01:56If I'm the Raiders, knowing that

01:58he doesn't have any more money

01:59left and there isn't really a

02:01financial tie to him at this

02:02point, I'm not trading him for

02:04less than a number one. I mean,

02:06there are so few really like big

02:08time, big time wide receivers.

02:10He's in the top ten for sure.

02:12He's a difference maker. You're

02:14going to give me a number one to

02:15get Devontae Adams. Otherwise,

02:16I'm not trading. Well, he's not

02:18going for a number one. Hell,

02:19the Raiders already said that

02:20they want a two plus. So, they

02:22don't even want a number one.

02:23They know they're not getting a

02:24number one. Christian McCaffrey

02:26didn't get a number one. He got

02:28a two, three, and four. He's a

02:30better player than Devontae Adams.

02:32So, he didn't get it. Devontae

02:34Adams is getting a number one. I

02:35don't think they're getting a

02:36number two. Not straight. I

02:38imagine it's a three with, you

02:40know, performance bonuses. Oh,

02:42if he does this, that, the other

02:43thing, it moves up to a number

02:45two. That would be my guess

02:46here. What the Raiders have going

02:48for them is that, as you said,

02:50there's competition for him. I

02:52mean, just in the AFC East alone,

02:54shouldn't the Jets and Bills be

02:55fighting with each other over

02:56him? You know, and once again, I

02:57don't know if the Bills could

02:58fit him under the cap. The Jets

03:00we know can. The Commanders,

03:02he's already said how much he

03:03wants to, he wanted to, I was

03:04hoping Daniels fell in with

03:05draft, right? He was hoping

03:06Daniels fell in with draft to

03:07the Raiders so he could play

03:09with them. And the Raiders have

03:10a truckload of room under the

03:12cap. And Daniels is playing so

03:13well. Alright? That might make

03:15some sense. Alright? Then, of

03:17course, Pittsburgh, they want

03:18that IU. Sure, they need

03:19somebody there. New England, I

03:21don't think there's any chance

03:22in hell that Adam's going to

03:23sign with New England. I just

03:24don't see that. Then, you know,

03:26a couple of smattering small

03:27teams that could go after him.

03:28I know Mathias, one of our

03:30producers here, he wants to, he

03:31thinks the Falcons should go

03:32after him. Don't see that.

03:33Cowboys, I'd be shocked. They

03:35need him. But I don't think any

03:37chance in hell they're going to

03:38pony up. The draft pick

03:40conversation plus the contract

03:42it takes to get him. Alright,

03:43so let's go back to the team

03:45that's most logical. The

03:47Kansas City Chiefs. I know

03:49they're in the same division. I

03:50get that. But you said it

03:51yourself, George. They're not

03:52going to compete for the

03:53division. They're not going to

03:54compete for a wild card spot.

03:56So, what do they care if the

03:57Raiders, you know, then they

03:58send them to the Kansas City

03:59Chiefs? And what if the Chiefs

04:01do say, you know what? I'll

04:02give you that number one. I

04:04will because Devontae Adams on

04:06Kansas City, that means another

04:08Super Bowl to me. I mean, you

04:10talk about an offense that's

04:11just absolutely loaded. I mean,

04:14would you give up a number one

04:16pick to win another Super Bowl?

04:18I would if I'm Kansas City. You

04:19want our first pick? It's going

04:20to be 32nd overall. Don't go

04:22knock yourself out. I mean, it

04:23beats a second rounder. I would

04:25make that if I'm the Raiders, if

04:27that's the best I can get. If

04:29they're the best team that's

04:30going to give me the best offer,

04:32I don't care if they're in my

04:33division because I'm not

04:34competing this year anyway. And

04:36maybe I'm realistically then not

04:37even going to compete next year

04:38if I'm going to go draft a

04:39quarterback this year. So, by

04:41the time I'm ready to compete,

04:42Devontae Adams will be too old

04:44and won't have any impact on me.

04:47So, I'm making that trade if

04:48Kansas City is willing to give

04:49it up a number one. And if no

04:50other teams are willing to give

04:51a number one if I'm Kansas City,

04:53here's my number one. I'll take

04:55it and win another Super Bowl.
