I asked her on the league, different people.

Just what are they expecting?

It's funny, I asked someone like, is there anything to this Devante Adams stuff?

And they're like, my man is out of there?

He's gone.

Uh So I definitely think that people expect this trade to go through.

I think that on Devante side, we've heard so much of this rumbling for years now, but now that it's really at this next level, you don't really take it to this level if you don't feel like there is a market for you.

So there's definitely a belief around the league as Adam Schefter reported this morning.

People were talking to me about this yesterday that he'd want to unite with one of his former quarterbacks.

He and Derek Carr go back to their Fresno State days in addition to their time with the Raiders.

He and Aaron Rodgers, obviously with the Green Bay Packers and Jets offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett was his offensive coordinator in Green Bay.

I think those feel like lazy comps, but also that is what he wants.

I think what's interesting to me is that first of all, a team needs to need a receiver when people are like the Cowboys are asking around.

Yeah, any team is gonna like check in just so they've done their due diligence.

It makes no sense for the Cowboys to bring in Devante Adams.

They paid CD lamb $34 million a year more than any non quarterback who's not Justin Jefferson, they don't need a pass help.

They need someone who can stop the run and run the other kind of like dark horse I'm curious about is there are definitely people around the league who are speculating about Baltimore.

Baltimore would make sense.

I I'll keep doing this because I did it before with this team.

The Detroit Lions should be all in like, why not?

Like, hey, you want a second rounder?

Ok, we don't care, we just want to chase the Super Bowl.

They, Jamison Williams has been very, very good for them, but can you imagine Devante Adams taking snaps in that offense all of a sudden you go from being maybe the best offense in the league to we're talking about like 2007 Patriots type of stuff.

II I, I'm still interested and also the fact that the Chiefs are apparently not even involved.

I get it division rival.

You don't want to do that, but maybe you hold your feet to the fire and if the Chiefs come through and say, ok, everybody else is offering a second offer first.

I mean, you're the Chiefs you are chasing this 3rd, 3rd Super Bowl title and you need some help after Rashi Rice is out, we, we still don't know, officially he's out for the season, but he's gonna be out for a long time.

I don't, I get it though.

That's not gonna happen.

Saints doesn't make any sense to me because Rashid, he's awesome.

Like he's really, really good and obviously they have Chris Ala.

So I don't really see, look, any team's better with Devante Adams.

I get that.

I don't really see that being a big need for the Saints though.

Jets make sense, obviously.

So, but I don't even know where the Jet season is going after that debacle on Sunday.

So it's just weird to find a fit for the, for the Raiders and Adams here, a trade partner.
