G Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Great addition and if Tae wants out then we've still got enough options for our QB's. I'd only wanted to trade him before the draft to move up so hopefully he's on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as egregious as the Jimmy G contract but it’s an undeniable overpay.

Dude has technically been more productive than ***ducks*** Trevor Lawrence somehow lol He’s a guy that can sneak us into the playoffs but yea we aren’t going to do anything special with him under center.

All the he wants to be traded rumors were bs. https://sactownsports.com/las-vegas-raiders-davante-adams-addresses-trade-rumors/ Edited April 30 by raidr4life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Nice. Another sensible, good value signing made at the right time. Rather than get involved early in FA for WR 4 or worry about getting a WR late in the draft to fill all your needs, TT went out and got a player who will be comfortably better than any late round WR to fill out our depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Excellent signing IMO. Not the player he was a couple years ago, but a solid #3 or #4 and at that price it really is a nice value addition. Adams, Meyers, Tucker and gallup is a really nice, solid bunch. No complaints there whatsoever. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronjon1990 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Cool with this signing. No clue how much he has left after his injury, but if he bounces back, you're looking at a legit #2 option as our 3rd or 4th. Not a bad spot to be in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still was a terrible move that will hold this team back from sniffing the playoffs. I agree he was overpaid but I don't think he's bad enough to hold us back. Rather, I don't think he's going to be a reason we make the playoffs if we have a shot. Problem is, Kirk aside- and no way I would agree to that much money for him- what FA QB out there would honestly make that type of difference for us? I would've preferred Brissett myself if we were going the bridge route, but it's not like he's a sure thing either. Can't see Tannehill being that guy. Not Mariota, though I could see him being decent in this offense. Darnold is terrible. Minshew sorta reminds me of Matt Moore at least- gritty and can hold it down without falling off a cliff. Everyone else would strike me more as a Chad Henne/Blaine Gabbert type where they're definitely a warm body but otherwise totally uninspiring.

RaisinBran Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Nice signing. Can also fill in if someone gets hurt, or if Tucker needs a little more time to develop. I thought Tucker was heading in the right direction last year but can't complain with a cheap depth signing especially since it's a vet who was pretty solid in Dallas when healthy.

One thing with Tucker, he needs work on the finer points of routes. I think employing Adams, Meyers, and Gallup, at least early on in 3 wide sets, would be beneficial. On one hand, when Tucker does come in, they're going to know he's going deep- and he's fast enough that opposing DCs may recognize the decoy but can't afford to try and call the bluff. On the other, Gallup is a decent enough WR that until it's clear he's washed, he's going to draw at least some attention.

RaidersAreOne Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 I'm actually super excited to see year two Tucker. When watching AOC clips from last year, I forgot some of the crazy plays Tre made late in the year. Cooking Derwin James for a TD. Diving catches, deep outs, etc. I think he was a sneaky good pick which we ALL crapped on this time last year lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
