Should the Raiders heed Belichick's advice and trade Adams to save $25 million?

The NFL trade window will be closing in about a month. Everyone is super excited, as they know that many major names will be traded. Davante Adams is one of those most anticipated names. The man is an excellent talent who can be a valuable asset to whatever team he joins. Among all the buzz around the WR, a veteran football coach has subtly cautioned Adam’s team: the Raiders.

This is about Bill Belichick, who just appeared on the Pat McAfee show. When the talk of the trade window came up, the WR was discussed in brief. According to the former coach, the Raiders must proceed with caution in this trade. He said that the team should eat Davante Adam’s salary this year and let the other team give him that. This may save the Raiders up to $25 million in total, which is the base salary of Adam per year.

The coach stated, “If you trade a player now that you’re not gonna bring back next year that allows you to get some value back.. We were gonna lose Jimmy Garoppolo in free agency so it was better for us to get a second rounder for him”

Following these statements, it’s logical to assume that the Raiders will be especially cautious about this move. Davante Adams is a guy who several organizations, like the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets, are keeping an eye on. Both of these teams will also going to be extremely cautious now because if they want the player, they maybe going to pay a bit more price for that as well.

You heard that correctly. If you don’t known than on Monday, October 7, The Athletic disclosed that the team and the wide receiver want to be free of this transaction within the next 48 hours. The most likely explanation is that once this deal is completed, the Raiders will be able to focus on their next games and develop new strategies with the WR who will replace Adams.

Among all of the talk, the Jets appear to be the most likely team where WR can go. The squad is suffering, as they just suffered a setback to the Vikings. Aaron Rodgers requires someone who can be as communicative and understanding as possible. And as we all know, Davante Adams possesses all of these qualities, as seen by their past.
