[quote=NoThanksSir post_id=1054312]How? You're talking close to $70 mill in cap needed to sign all 3.[/quote]Figure it out.

[quote=CWood24 post_id=1054339]If Carr is indeed the QB for the new regime then they need to tell him if he really wants Adams then needs to take the Brady discount & sign for 20 mil , Adams & Carr for 40 sounds about right although i think Adams is a little overrated

Adams would be a waste of money you could draft a WR & sign a couple of vet for that money & spread the production which would make you far better[/quote]There's also the concern that Adams' success is a result of having Aaron Rodgers as his QB. Rodgers always gets his yards and TDs, regardless of who's playing the WR position.

There are transcendent WRs like Tim Brown who made plays regardless of who the QB was, but is Adams a Tim Brown or Jerry Rice-like talent?

so you want to tie up about a third of our cap with three guys?

IOW, if Adams were to become a Raider, would he produce at the same level he did in Green Bay? I think that's highly questionable.

[quote=Attyla post_id=1054402]so you want to tie up about a third of our cap with three guys?[/quote]Do you somehow know the length of the contract and how much bonus money would be ponied upfront?

Did their agents discuss with you the terms they are looking for?

So how would you know how much cap would be tied up???

The chemistry is already there and no, Carr isn’t Rodgers, but adams cannot be covered 1 on 1. So with Waller, renfrow, and adams on the field - defenses will have an extremely hard time shutting one valve, when the other two are always open.

Depends on how many years the contract is and what the raiders plan to do in year 3 or beyond in their contract. Which my guess would be the biggest reason deals fall through. I just think saying we don’t have cap space is a lazy statement

https://youtu.be/NOVf-AW4d_o[/quote]Not sure how the NFL worked this out, but Derek Carr already has 4 interceptions in the stat column for next year after the Jackson news.

[quote=NoClapsPlease post_id=1054395]Figure it out.[/quote]Why to burn money and stack losses?

Y'all seem to be determined to spend almost the whole cap on 5 or 6 guys with only two being playmakers.

No overly meaningful other than to the Fresno Mafia chest beating.
