Here's the problem I have with Adams, besides him being 32 at some point this year. He has 3 years left on his contract counting this year. Cap hits would be, 17M, 35M, and 35M. What's left of that 17M this year? This year would be fine. What do they do after that? They can restructure him. But do they really want to start adding dead cap for a player that age? He's fine as a 1 year rental. I just don't think this is the team for that.
It's fully guaranteed and prorated over 18 weeks. So, if they get him after week 6, for example, 2/3rd's is still owed or ~11.2mil.
Now, I have seen some deals done where the original team can pay X amount of the salary to move him. But I don't think that will be the case for Adams with mulitple bidders unless the raiders can get a higher pick for him by doing so.
