Adams won't play on tag.....****...

[Wi. Mike now in Florida]

Didn't Adam's state during the season last year he wanted to be the highest payed receiver in the league??

I think he is actually a very good player and much better than Kirk. I think his injury history hurts him and even more, the QB's he has played with. Imagine if Rodgers was his QB and he stayed healthy, his numbers could be Adams like numbers.

Which actually is something to be said about Davante. Yes, he is a great WR, but he has benefited by not just having #12 as his QB, but basically being the only quality starting WR/TE on the team since Jordy and Cobb left.

Oh gosh we’d be stout at WR if we had Allen Worth

Being Aaron Rodgers #1 target is obviously earned. However you could put Amari Cooper here and he’d increase his yearly to about 1300-1400+ yards. So should Amari be holding out for $25m+?? That’s what his worth is if Davante is
$29-30m range.
Imo Davante true worth (being league objective) is about $22-24m. Just because 1 person gets paid too much doesn’t mean everyone has to suddenly commit cap suicide

Yes or alluded to it. Rumors are that the Packers offered to make him just that, the highest paid receiver and he wanted something else. Probably more guarantees would be my guess.

That 23/year to some wouldn't be highest due to how Hopkins "extension" was structured to be more. I think it was a mixture of that plus guarantee if I had to guess.

Honestly I think if I'm the Packers I'm more than willing to offer him more than any WR has ever gotten as a guaranteed money without blinking...from there structuring is where the disconnect is most likely for sure.

Yes. Also when you factor in DeAndre’s 2022 season (the best comparison). Hopkins is $23.7m average from 2022-2024

Imo Davante is not substantially better than Hopkins. If if he argued he was? it’s minuscule. Hopkins has had 3 separate seasons at 1,500+ yards. Tough to argue I’m a better WR than that.
Switch QB’s? and you get similar results but favoring Hopkins. He’s definitely not worth $5mil per season more even if we split hairs and dig deeper. I think Davante might get exposed without #12 throwing it.

Trade him to the Texans for all they will give us. Trade them our second round pick and Davante for their first round and second round picks. He will enjoy catching balls from Davis Mills or Zach Wilson.

I’d do that in a second. Heck, I’d trade him for the #3 overall and a 8oz coke.
I’m thirsty.. excuse me.

My moral high ground? When has it been a bad thing to believe a person is entitled to negotiate for what they (and I would guess numerous other employers) feel is justifiable compensation? Some people seem to believe a player should take a discount to "help the team win" or that player is awful and needs to go. First, what guarantee does the player have that the money he is foregoing is going to actually the team win? Does the player know for a fact that the GM will spend the money wisely? My "soap box" is, and has been, that players shouldn't be vilified because they want to be paid what they're worth.

I will never blame a player for earning a contract. Gute gets paid a lot of money. So does Russ Ball. It's not the players' job to make their jobs easier by sacrificing their compensation.

If that's your soap box, fine. Sure sounded like it was being upset with folks not being willing to bend to player/agent doing the negotiating.

This was exactly what I was thinking about Robinson. The Rams just got better!

I think you are now reverting to creating a strawman argument to try and prove your point. While I have seen 1-2 posters infer he is being greedy, I have never seen someone refer to him as a menace or bad guy.

My apologies for not repeating posters verbatim. I'm pretty sure you get what I was saying though. There have been plenty of posters that think good team players take less money to help the GM out; that players who don't take less money are selfish.

Hmmm. Should we make a play for OBJ??

I'm thinking more along the lines of a Paul Simon song about the school yard...

No. This is his second ACL injury to the same knee and will likely miss much of the 2022 season.

People need to chill. Adams is posturing for a better contract. This is standard operating procedure. You can start to worry on July 14th.

Traded

Can Schefter REALLY be believed, anymore?

What was he wrong about? You're in denial

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Davante to the Raiders.....let's go shopping!

 

[Pkrjones]

What was he wrong about? You're in denial

Schefter F'd up draft day '21 by "breaking the story" about an AR trade. From all public accounts that was false.

Reports state Adams' new contract is 5yr/$141.25mil for a yearly average of $28.25mil. Wow!!!

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

$28.5 M/year.....good luck Raiders. First rounder and another 2022 pick.

Weren't you the one with the tag line of Davante won't leave if Rodgers stays?

Yup and deleted a while back as it seemed petty to hold that person to it...lol

@thequick12 please bow down to me as I argued with you about this....

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

The deal is expected to involve Las Vegas sending back a first-round pick, potentially more draft selections and a player, Rapoport added.
