00:00What about Devontae Adams? That feels, to me, if I'm being reasonable, the more obvious get,

00:06the name-making get much easier, and he would cost you a lot less. A lot of guaranteed money,

00:10but less in terms of draft capital. So there's no draft picks like T. Eagins, D. K. Metcalf.

00:14I also think he has more left in the tank than even Adibo Samuel. Obviously not a huge draft

00:21pick compensation like with A. J. Brown. So if you're just looking at who is a real free agent,

00:26I think it's only he and Godwin that would make a huge difference on the team. Everybody else,

00:32you can sort of argue what's left of Amari Cooper. I'm not really interested in that list

00:38after those top two guys. So I would do whatever it takes. I know you've been of the mindset that

00:42Godwin probably stays in Tampa, and you might be right. That's what I think. If Godwin becomes

00:46available, I'm interested, but I don't see him leaving Tampa. So there's a good chance Adams is

00:51the best player at that position to just sign with another team. There might be another trade

00:55somewhere or whatever, but yeah, if you can get him and it's just money, there should be nothing

01:01standing in the way of you at least offering him the biggest contract. He's not going to get a deal

01:07like Jamar Chase or T. Eagins or even D. K. Metcalf. He is not going to become the highest

01:13paid receiver in the history of football. He is going to get a ton of money for the next couple

01:17of years, but you should be in that market. Whatever it is, you should top it. Okay. So

01:21Devante Adams, tell me if this matters or not. He hasn't made a Pro Bowl in the last two years

01:27after making six straight. He's moved teams a handful of times since 2021. He played two and

01:36a half seasons with the Raiders and then had the last half season with the New York Jets.

01:40So he's bounced around. He hasn't been a Pro Bowler. He's going to be 33. A lot of his numbers

01:46last year, like for everybody, I'm just saying for everybody who hates on Calvin Ridley. Oh,

01:52Calvin Ridley and Devante Adams numbers really were not that different last year.

01:56Okay. Adams barely cracked a thousand yards. Ridley cracked a thousand yards.

01:59I think Adams did a lot of stat padding at the end of the year too. I'm still very interested,

02:04but you're trying to point out some of the flaws, but this is also why he's available.

02:07That's what I was just going to say. The reason he's out there and available, I'm not going to

02:10turn my nose up at him, but I would understand if people say he's 33, he hasn't made a Pro Bowl

02:14for two years. He was stat padding last year. He's been bouncing around teams.
