KC financially probably doesn't work but people outright saying, "Never would happen anyway" because of nonsense "Division Rival" is dumb

The idea of not making trade within division when you're a team that will miss playoffs that could better help your future (Get picks) is so asinine

But the Chiefs picks would be end of round shit since they're going to AFC Conference final at the very least, surely there would be better offers out there.

Looking at the clubs who would be interested, all likely to be Division winners, save for the Jets (depends on their H2H with Buffalo). So, any of them would be from pick 55 onwards most likely.

This isn't Claypool with pick #33 (ultimately #32 due to the Miami forfeiting for Brady tampering). No team with a likely pick that is 40-45 is going to trade for Adams. Would not make any sense.

Again, salary cap for this season can be manipulated with either a conversion of base salary to bonus and/or with LV retaining on Adams to lower the cap charge for the remainder of this season. As for future years, well, that's up to Adams and the new team to figure out how to give him his money over the next 2 years at a reasonable cap number. Likely to push dead cap into 2027 to achieve that.

Seems like Adams prefers to play with a QB he's played with before it seems like Jets and Saints would be the favorites.

Do three way trades happen in the NFL?

Would be funny to see him traded for a pick and then that team trades him to KC for a better pick
can’t recall a 3 way deal. NFL deals are almost never top player to roster players. Typically it’s draft picks in return. It’s not nhl/nba/mlb.

Only way a team flips Adams is if they are willing to absorb most of his base salary for 2024 which is $900k plus per week. Whereas LV prefer to be able to slide the cap savings from 2024 after dealing Adams to 2025 to spend on players.

But that’s not likely.

Honest question, and I'm not trying to disparaging.

Is the Raiders owner all the way there mentally?

No sane person willingly rocks that haircut in public. He has few screws loose for sure.
