Fish: Cowboys interested in Davante Adams

[jazzcat22]

Why? This season is dead in the water.

Just because you and many others want to drown, go ahead.
I am swimming to survive, and get to the playoffs, where anything can and will happen.

It’s not a savior. It’s about getting good value on a vet. If it’s a next year move that’s fine to. But you can’t keep holding on to these picks and praying they will help you contend. These guys aren’t serious contributors for 2 or 3 years. Sometimes never. I’m holding on to picks for what? The next Nashon Wright? Because you are more likely to get the next Nashon Wright and Kelden Joseph then you are the next Diggs.

I just have a different perspective.

Cooper makes so much more sense but egos and such. He's so cheap, knows the offense, and would have immediate rapport with Dak. Then you still have plenty of $ left to go get a DT, DE, etc. But we do need a good WR2, that's for sure. I think that's a much bigger need than RB.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I just have a different perspective.

Sounds like it rivals our front office’s

 

[thunderpimp91]

We cant afford Derrick Henry but Davante Adams we have interest in? Dont even get me started on this one....

 

[fivetwos]

Jerry probably told Fisher to throw this out there because he is getting a ton of crap lately.

Does anyone honestly think they would trade for a WR a month after giving CD a record deal, and a week after saying they couldn’t afford Henry?

This is absolute non news with nothing at all to it I’m sure.

 

[kumizi]

Cowboys need a RB far more than they need another WR.

Arguable.

We need help at both positions.

The WR room after Ceedee is really bad. A #2 WR might be more valuable than a #1 RB.

 

[Blitzen]

Everyone on this thread is too tense, lol. Calm down everyone and let’s see the month of October before declaring what the best choice is-to buy or sell. Reminds me of investors that think they can buy their way out of any poorly performing asset. Just wait and see what happens. Hope for the best.

I want to win. This would at least show that the Joneses are trying to accomplish that, too. Their other signings this season do not scream that winning is a priority.

Now, are there other players that I would have liked to see the team sign this season than Adams? Absolutely. But I'll take anything at this point. Don't care if it costs us picks because it would at least show that this team's philosophy (draft picks and low-cost FAs or trades) isn't set in stone. Of course, it would probably just mean the only high-cost trades we're willing to make are for skill position players (but not running back because we no longer value them).

I don't want the team to prove their commitment to winning by committing to a losing move. Around half of our salary cap would be committed to Lamb, Adams, and Dak for the next couple of years, and this move doesn't fix the main problems on this team...being DL and rushing offense. I'd love to see them pull off a blockbuster trade that turns the season around and propels us to a Lombardi, but I don't see bringing in Adams as being that move.

This team has been losing for almost 30 years. It has not been good enough doing what it was doing. I'm OK with trying anything. Frankly, I think the move that we've needed to make is getting a dominating 3-tech, but it's hard to find those. It's not likely that Adams would change anything, but it would just be a two-year commitment to try.

 

[TwentyOne]

Fish was skeptical in the morning, but solid reporting says the Cowboys inquired about what it would take to to get him.

My take? NO!!!!

My sources tell me the Cowboys are interessted in fish to play DE.

 

[Creeper]

I am interested too if they will take a 6th round pick for him. Otherwise I am not interested. He's 32, and due more than $35 million the next 2 years. Of course he can be cut next year before that money is due, but getting Adams would be for the rest of this year and that's it.

 

[jujoboys]

I can't believe people actually take Fish seriously when he posts this junk. He always connects Dallas to big name free agents and trades and none of them ever happen. Guy is just trying to get hits on his article. His credibility in regards to the Cowboys and their personnel moves is pretty close to ZERO..

Any dominant DL would do a world of good for this team, but you're right. You just don't see teams letting them go, especially for cheap.

If we had a viable run game, and the defense wasn't looking like Swiss cheese, I'd probably be for bringing in Adams. I don't think he's washed, and he'd certainly spice up the passing game, but there are too many glaring holes on the team to commit more funds to the passing game. I get where you're coming from, my friend. I'm frustrated too, and there have been times over the last 5 or 6 years where it made alot of sense to push the chips to the middle and make a crazy move or two to try to make a serious run. I just don't see this year's squad being in that position.

Look at Adams' contract. Base salaries of $35m or more for the duration after this season. I could be wrong, but this isn't like the Cooks situation where the other guys footed part of the bill. That's money that we can't spend on Parsons and Smith. If not for that, I'd be all for it, no questions asked. Gives us potentially the best WR room in the game for the next couple of seasons. I just don't see how you can field a team with so much money tied into one aspect of the team when others are already clearly failing.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

They can convert his base to guarantee and reduce his cap hit to basically nothing if they want.

So let's say he's at $35m for 2025....how would you go about converting say, $20m to guarantees without causing problems in the future?

 

[jujoboys]

The Jones boys are interested in getting Davante Adams and I am interested in winning the powerball lottery. The Jones boys and I have something in common when it comes to the thing we are interested in. Neither one of us feel the need to spend any money on the items we are interested in so the Jones boys won't sign Davante Adams and I will never win the lottery.

 

[JW82]

So what jersey number will Adams be wearing when he arrives in Dallas? I'm thinking 81. Is he in town yet?

My take? NO!!!!

OMG, fish and his headlines. they just kicked the tires and said no.....

he doesn't fit under the cap. he has a 35M base next year, we have Micah, Ferguson and Smith to resign.....it ain't happening.

My take? NO!!!!

Hahahaha...........Nobody wants Phenom Trance.

 

[Bullflop]

I'll believe they're serious about getting Davante Adams when I see it.
Let's hope he's interested when he hears what our FO is offering him.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall whenever Stephen breaks the news to him . . .
