I hope him and Carr have a lot of success together. 2) Learn how to spell his name. Tae? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 The chemistry Carr and Adams will have is very real. Remember how good Crabtree was with DC? Think that but 10x. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB was trying to stand firm but he was not going to sign. I do not know what our original offer was but they stated we came back and increased the offer when we new we had pocket aces. This team never gets good value because we are never capable of walking away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team never gets good value because we are never capable of walking away. I don’t have an issue with the value. You think we’re getting a WR anywhere near as good as Adams with either of those picks? I mean it’s possible, but definitely unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't have all the leverage - Green Bay could've held onto him until the start of the season, and by that point Zeigler would have had to address the position (and cap) elsewhere or give up assets in the 2023 draft instead. GB had no issue with his franchise tag since they reportedly offered the same money we did. By getting him now we only give up assets in this draft and ensure he's here learning the new system instead of having to work him in last-minute. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the opportunity and made it happen. I get where youre coming from, value is great but at the end of the day its about putting good football players on the field, and we just so happened to get the best at his position, who is also best friends with our QB. Perfect match all around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to be here, no need to get cute, go get him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloydFan Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Everyone around the league is saying even though we “caved” we got great value. You have to just be trying to be a Debbie downer at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I think Adam's game will age well too. He's a bigger WR at 6-1 215 so he'll always have that. Not to mention speed isn't a necessity to his game. Elite hands, arguably the best route runner in the NFL, jump ball specialist. I just freaking love this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the make and play style of a receiver who will age very very well. It’s not illogical to think he has a great 5 years left in him.
