Doesn't seem to be an actual trade *request*.

Of f***ing course

2nd round pick is possible IMO. But, would require LV to eat some of his base salary. He makes basically $1 mill per game. NYG got a 2nd from SEA because they ate close to 90% of L. Williams remaining salary.

He is done the guaranteed portion of his contract after 2024. So, for any team to keep Adams beyond 2024, they'd need to redo his contract, which he has leverage as he's due $35.6 mill in base salary for 2025. So, if he doesn't get his number, he'd dare the club to keep him at that number, which a team won't. He'd play for that number unlike Reddick at $14 mill.

Could see the Bills, Jets and Chiefs all come knocking.

No shot he stays in the division but i could at least see them asking. More than likely he shacks up with his old buddy Aaron in New York. Especially with how Garrett Wilson has seemingly forgot how to play football to start this season.

End of the day, you acquire Adams for this season and then figure out a restructured deal in the off season or you have to cut him if you can’t. Cause it would be a $35.6 mill cash and cap charge if he plays on the current contract in 2025. Doable, but most clubs would at the very least convert some of that base into a bonus to lower the cap hit by $10 mill or so.

This is why details are vital when talking nfl contract. His deal had a $28 mill AAV. But he will be paid around $67 mill or so over 3 years which is a $22.5 mill AAV. Only way it got to $28 mill was the $71 mill he is due in 25/26 seasons.

The only damn thing Mark Davis has done since bringing the Raiders to Las Vegas was getting himself a 26 year old girlfriend for his soon to be 70 year old ass.

This guy has no football sense like his dad, sell the f***ing team to a competent owner.

He has under 50% ownership. But, even if the other owners all pooled the shares together, Davis is the controlling owner in terms of football/business decisions.

But, agreed, the guy is terrible. Been bad for like 2 decades with senile Al and incompetent Mark.

Guy simply can't hire a front office an HC. You keep swapping out HC every 3-4 years, what do we see, a bunch of guys who don't get a 2nd contract because they don't fit the new system. So, never have any continuity.

Reggie McKenzie/Del Rio, to Gruden/Mayock (mostly Gruden though), Zeigler/McDaniels, to former Chargers GM and Pierce. Just constant change.

Raiders IMO have blown their shot at building a home field advantage. LV is a destination and with the NFL being a once a week event, people will fly out on Friday night/Saturday to go to LV to watch their team play, so always going to be games where the fans are about 50/50 depending on which team it is. Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, Packers, teams like that, are going to have a large section of fans. Raiders needed to be good coming out of Covid and they haven't been. Gruden's emails, to Josh disaster to now Pierce, it's not been good.
