Looking back – Adam’s to raiders trade – GB fleeced Raiders
October 15, 2024
With the Adam’s experiment done in Vegas we received Watson and Walker – two starters for Adam’s while they got a 2 year rental.
Do you think we won the trade considered Adam’s did not want to play with us anymore?

We didn’t fleece them, there just a shitty franchise who can’t win with anyone. They would have done absolutely nothing with those picks
How fast do you think Taco Bell will build a location inside his New York house?
I’m personally not a fan of any big trade for a guy whose contract is up. Paying anyone a top-of-the-market contract is always a dicey proposition, because they have to stay healthy *and* not regress at all to earn it. But to then give up a bunch of draft capital just for the right to give them that contract? I don’t think the math adds up. If you’re going to swing a trade for a star, it should be for a guy with time left on their current deal, whether that’s their rookie contract or an extension. Then you get the remaining time on their current contract at a discount and can better spread out the cost of a big extension.
The raiders paid a very reasonable price for a guy who was at the time WR 1 or 2 in the league. They would have imploded regardless because there front office doesn’t know how to manage a team, but it a vacuum this was a pretty even trade. Given the raiders draft history I’d say they probably got better value than they would have with them
New Jersey Packers.
I might wrong or just a little biased with my disdain for Rodgers, but from what I’ve seen, Rodgers is just playing poorly. He’s missing throws badly. Their O line sucks as well. I don’t see Adams making them a threat to win it all. In fact, I think the Jets just keep digging a deeper hole for themselves with the salary cap and giving away draft picks.
I wonder if his hamstring will magically feel better this week.
Raiders definitely lost, but I feel like quay needs to be better for the trade to be a good deal for us
The hidden benefit of the Adams trade is it positioned the Packers to get rid of Rodgers sooner and move on to Love. I don’t think it was a fleecing but in the big picture the Packers won the trade.
I made a post stating exactly this 3 years ago in this sub!
TBH the Raiders fleeced themselves. Top reason the dude wanted to be in Vegas was to be with Carr and then they traded him away. Now they got nothing
The raiders were most likely never gonna win this trade cause they’re not a stable enough organization and haven’t figured out the QB position. I understand the idea was to pair him with his buddy Carr but obviously the organization wasn’t sold on Carr cause he was gone soon after—so what was the point? You need a QB before you acquire a $30M WR
Who knows, Jordan Love could have been better off with Davante. Quay is just mid and half of Christian Watson doesn’t satisfy me much.
We didn’t fleece the raiders, the raiders just suck
I wouldnt say we fleeced them. Watson is questionable most the time and Quay imo is not very good.
However, Davante didn’t want to be in GB and they were able to move on and give them some cap flexibility.
It was a fleece from the start. Davante would not have played for us with the franchise tag.
I hate these takes. As if every team is trying to fuck over other teams in trades.
“Fleece” implies that Adams wasn’t still good when he got there. The raiders got a great player and Adams gave them great production. The team just sucks.
~~Adam’s~~ Adams
Jets now have more offensive players from the packers 2021 season than the packers do. (Rodgers, Allen, Adams, and Jake Hanson vs Love, Jenkins, and Myers)
Gute masterclass
LEVERAGE PEOPLE!!!

Walker is a bust
Biggest loser was Adams, he built a Taco Bell in his house.
