"Hey Davante, you want to play with Zach Wilson?"

'Nah. I'd rather play with the broken porn star with the Visor wearing Mr. Potato Head..."

[–] mikapple@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I would like to thank the Raiders for keeping that man locked up

[–] dongerlord456@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ravens called about Jacobs and now the Jets called about Davante. Maybe the Raiders should just trade em and start the rebuild that should’ve happened last off-season.

[–] AItinerant@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That would have thrown napalm on the "Rodgers wants to come back this year" story. It would have been non stop updates until like mid December.

Imagine Mike Evans' streak coming to an end because he had to play with Zach Wilson.

[–] Sav10r@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Any idea what Free Agency looks like for him this year? He's a UFA. Are you guys planning on Franchise tagging him if you guys aren't able to work out a deal? (What does he even want atm? If he looking for money, winning more rings, etc?)

[–] TetrisTech@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He’d still get it. An average of 49.3 yards a game the rest of the season gets him there, which he’d definitely get with Wilson

[–] Autocrat777@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's going to be difficult to get out from under his contract until after the 2024 season. Teams are going to have to offer a ransom prior to that.

[–] TallCupOfJuice@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

they'll draft a QB in the top 5 then rush him in because they think Adams will be enough of a buffer for a rookie. Rookie will suck. Adams will be pissed. Offload trade him for pennies. Fire head coach in 2025. Repeat.

I'm actually at the point I wish they wouldn't be totally incompetent for once because this rivalry has been way too one sided for so long that it's lost it's intensity.

[–] CallRespiratory@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I could still see Adams on the Jets next year, particularly if A-Rod returns.

[–] Trujiogriz@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Alex Rodriguez will be a rubbish QB but it is true he is a draw for NY fans

[–] dedriuslol@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Isn't it a massive dead cap hit to trade him?

[–] KovalSNIPE17@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I mean I feel like it’s a probability at this point

[–] ND7020@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Shouldn’t they be targeting (or saving picks for) o-line instead?

[–] el_fitzador@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Man could you imagine Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adam's on the same team?

[–] iscreamuscreamweall@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That would be so OP. They’d probably win a Super Bowl

[–] GetReady4Action@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It will happen lol. The Raiders are about to enter full rebuild mode. Davante's already been in Vegas what? 2 years? and is about to witness his third QB since Jimmy is benched the rest of the season? unless he and AOC have outstanding chemistry, Aaron Rodgers will get what he wants.

[–] ChannelNeo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He might just take the snaps and throw to himself.

[–] TallCupOfJuice@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

can we stop calling this guy AOC

[–] lemurosity@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You're right. he has to earn the right to use that.

[–] RedditsDarkKnight@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Why are the Jets giving Rodgers complete control of their franchise? Great QB but there is a strong likelihood that he is washed. His last season and GB wasnt any good and he cant stay healthy anymore. 2-3 years ago, fine, give Rodgers whatever he wants. But now?

[–] Shinbats@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Just me or is Wilson/Evans a better mesh than Wilson/Adams?

[–] EZKTurbo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Dude, imagine if Wilson and Wilson were both on the same team as Wilson

[–] Stock_Eye5435@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I agree, but Rodgers/Adams clears both by a mile.

[–] ZachTrillson@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Billy Turner, Randall Cobb, Aaron Rodgers, Tim Boyle, missing out on WRs in trade rumors?

We really ARE the Packers now

[–] Coley54Bear@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks for the chuckle.

[–] jkink28@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You remembered Boyle but not Lazard?

[–] Snugglebadger@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Nah, you're not losing games because of special teams fuck ups.

[–] kitzdeathrow@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Adrian Amos.

[–] NicklAAAAs@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Alan Lazard, too.

[–] Suitable-Opposite377@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They already can't get Wilson the ball, why another star?

[–] Dark_theFifth@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Davante Adams grew up a Raiders fan

[–] WhatIsMentalHeath@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Congratulations to the raiders for waking the fuck up and firing their bozo of a head coach!!

[–] ZombieePanda@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I wonder if he could pick if he’d go back to Rodgers or Carr.
I’m thinking Carr because of their relationship. Even with the struggles.

[–] Think_Minute2753@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Adams and Wilson? With hall? Sheesh.

Zack Wilson of course ;)

[–] ItsTheOtherGuys@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I know Admas loves Rodgers, but I don't think he really wants to play on the field with him right now, I feel like he is more aligned to playing with old college teammates and contenders

[–] Webbyzs@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Guess they didn't try very hard.

[–] Spezisaspastic@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They really didn’t trade him because they thought they needed him and got shafted because they did not trade him.

[–] jrhudson@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Lmao why do they gotta word it like that, “tried”. Like the Jets are the little bros or something lol.

[–] yungredosrs@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Jets feel like more than any other org the owners want to fucking win and will do absolutely anything in terms of player acquisition to trend in that direction. Not sure if good or bad thing, ie, Dalvin Cook.

[–] amethystalien6@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’m honestly surprised Mickey Loomis didn’t pick up the phone too. We all saw Adams. I would think both he and Douglas would want to at least test the water.
