What happens with rodgers will dictate what happens from here, but either way, i cant see them letting Adams walk... at the very least they work the cap, tag him and at least get the proper compensation for him
No way the Raiders or any get in him true free agency imo
Yup that’s how I see it…
a whole heap of Raider fans were excited because he just brought a new house in Vegas…
but whatever way the Rodgers issue goes… I can’t see him ending up a real free agent….
If Rodgers stays… there’s no f**king way he stays knowing his best target is being allowed to walk out the door…
If Rodgers goes… they probably want to give Love the best chance possible to succeed so giving him one of the best WR’s in the league will help that.
The only way a player like Adams hits the market is if plays on a tag for a few seasons and the salary hit becomes ridiculous like Kirk Cousins in Washington or Suh in Detroit…
Or you have multiple all pro players heading into free agency at the same time and you can’t tag em all… so they have to take their pick… but a half decent GM will see that coming years beforehand and structure deals to make sure it doesn’t happen.
Maybe Rodgers stays and demands such a big contract that GB don’t have the cap space to tag Adams.. but as I said earlier.. I doubt Rodgers stays if Adams is allowed to leave.
What I reckon would be interesting would be if the Raiders offered to trade Rodgers for Carr…
Denver, The Titans and The Steelers can offer multiple picks… but The Raiders can offer a good competitive QB who could keep GB good.
Carr isn’t Rodgers but he’s about a top 10 QB and he’s still got 5-10yrs of good football in him… he’s on a cheap deal this season so can re-up him or you can take a year to evaluate him and then decide to extend him
And Adams would likely be happy to stay and may even take less as Carr is his best friend.
Rodgers could be happy playing for a playoff team that wouldn’t have to be guttered of talent and picks just to acquire him…
and he could potentially relish going head to head with Mahomes and Herbert twice a year…
it’s all a pipe dream completely made up in my head… but I reckon it could appeal to all parties…
maybe Rodgers turns it down as he’s been pretty much a mentor to Carr and might not want to take his job…
