00:00We've talked about Devontae Adams and the Jets plenty.

00:06Devontae Adams hadn't anywhere else.

00:09Where are you guys landing on this Adams situation and everything that's playing out right now,

00:14Donnie?

00:15I'll go with you.

00:16Here's what I'm shocked at.

00:17And I saw the report come out today, maybe Adam Kaplan can have a little bit more on

00:20this later as well.

00:21The Saints are the most aggressive team pushing forward.

00:24And I say to myself, and here's why I like this, because you guys know me when I talk

00:27about the salary cap.

00:28If you have an NFL ownership group that's willing to spend money, there isn't really

00:31a cap.

00:32So riddle me this, Batman, out here.

00:35You are $90 million over the cap projected for next year.

00:40If you get Devontae Adams, he has about $30, $35 million left on his contract.

00:44It's not guaranteed.

00:45Do you know what Devontae goes?

00:46Hey, man, love the Saints.

00:48But before you trade for me, let's get those dollars worked out and bump that even north.

00:52How do they afford him?

00:53Let me start there.

00:54The Saints, I think, is a good match.

00:56How can they afford the guy?

00:57I don't know how they can afford him.

00:59It's ridiculous when you think about the price tag.

01:01The fit, obviously, with Derek Carr, there's a need.

01:03I don't think, outside of Chris Alave, they don't have elite talent, right?

01:08I mean, good wide receivers, but not elite.

01:10So that would help them in regards to Challenge Tampa Bay and Atlanta.

01:13We saw the 500-yard performance with Kirk Cousins on Thursday night.

01:18That might be the need for Dennis Allen from the football perspective.

01:22I still go back to the two teams that I mentioned, Steelers with Justin Fields, a couple of them

01:28potentially with George Pickens.

01:30They don't have a real legitimate number one, even though Pickens is hopefully working his

01:35way into that role.

01:37And the Bills, I think today will dictate maybe whether they go after Devontae Adams

01:43even harder.

01:44Because if they struggle today, to your point, and Josh has another 180, 175, and Keon Coleman's

01:52hot and cold today, and Kincaid is not involved in that offense, maybe there is a bigger push

01:58for the Buffalo Bills in regards to that.

02:00And who knows?

02:01What if Khalil Shakir's injury lingers a little bit longer?

02:03But that is why I wanted to not only get to Devontae Adams, because the big team that

02:09probably needs wide receiver is the Kansas City Chiefs, and a lot of us are under the

02:13idea that they shouldn't even bother calling the Las Vegas Raiders, and that's just not

02:19something that's on the board.
