Dallas is always a media potential landing spot for any & all players.

We are 3 games into the season and this stuff is filling the rumor mills. This one is as ridiculous as Atlanta trading Pitts.

However, if LV continues to lose and is out of it by the trade deadline, this is a trade I could see happening, just not to Dallas. The problem is his contract. The Raiders would eat about $23 million in dead CAP money and take a CAP hit in 2024.

The team that takes him would pay his $16 million salary in 2024 and a $510k per game roster bonus. If he plays 16 of 17 games, he will get $24 million. In 2025 he is due $35 million in salary and $510k per game roster bonus which means he will almost certainly be cut before then. No one is going to pay a 33 year old WR $43 million.

Anyone who takes him in a trade is taking him for maybe a season and a half which means his trade value is very limited. A team in the running desperate for a WR may consider giving up a 4th or 5th round pick for Adams. I could see him playing the remainder of 2023 and being released in early 2024 too.

might as well and while your at it, add both Kelce bothers, Trent Williams, Quenton Nelson, Lane Johnson, and Christian McCaffery. maybe then we can make it to the NFL Championship game.

If he was on the market, he'd be going to SF. That's a team that's aggressive in pursuing players unlike Dallas, and Adams is from Fresno.

Once Lamb signs his deal, Dallas will already be the first team in the history of the nfl to have 3 different receivers at 10m$+ AAV with Gallup and Cook. I would think you’re at the bottom of the list of teams who’d be interested in adding a guy who makes 28m$ a year

I see 3 or 4 articles a day about trade proposals made up by writers. They do say the are just that, a what if type thing. No rumors. and nothing from any sources.
Just like if we suggested trades on here.
Clickbait gibberish gets retweeted and morphs into a rumor!

I didn’t realize what a late bloomer Davante Adams was. He didn’t have his first 1000 yard season until his fifth year.

..why did we acquire Cooks then? ... Adams would be great to WR corps though. Dude is baller.

Lapel Collins is still unemployed.

Let's sign him for vet minimum...then trade him for Davate Adams...STRAIGHT UP

(this suggestion should help me blend in around here)

Probably speculated because the McCarthy connection, but no way do they make this trade

It would be a great dream but It is long past time to wake up.

BREAKING NEWS: Every big name that's "RUMORED" will be linked to Dallas, this is a NO story!!
Every disgruntled or underutilized big end zone target is going to have us in the mix bc the whole universe knows we lack a red zone target. Jerry is all in this year and it won’t shock me at all if he adds more offensive weapons.
