00:00What is this game that Pierce is playing with the media with Devontae Adams, like they're
00:08not going to trade him and that he's a raider and he's going to play when he's healthy?
00:11Are they dealing this guy or not?
00:13There's a lot of teams that need him.
00:15Yeah.
00:16And by the way, the trade deal is not until November 5th.
00:18Here's why.
00:19First of all, as I understand it, they don't have what they want in terms of getting compensation.
00:23So it's very easy to say that, hey, he's our guy.
00:26We want to keep him.
00:27I thought that was fascinating.
00:28You mentioned that it wasn't lost on a lot of people around the league, but the bottom
00:32line is they've wanted to move him.
00:35Other teams think so.
00:37And you know what's interesting?
00:38There are a lot of teams that need a wide receiver right now.
00:41Your Steelers are on the lookout, as I'm told, the Chiefs are, although there's no way the
00:44Raiders would trade Devontae Adams to the Chiefs.
00:46But there are a lot of teams looking for receivers right now.
00:49It's interesting.
00:50It's usually not like that, but it is just hearing from other teams that that's the one
00:53position teams are looking at.
00:55And also edge rushers.
00:57If you have a good edge rusher, you don't trade them.
00:59It's rare.
01:00The thing with Washington last year when they traded Montez Sweat and Chase Young, that's
01:06rare when you have a sort of like a garage sale on edge rushers.
01:10It rarely happens.
01:11But yeah, that Raiders situation, and by the way, they play your Steelers this week.
01:17That's a fascinating situation with what's going on there because they had a crazy win
01:22at Baltimore.
01:23No one saw that coming, but they could not capitalize it.
01:26And oh, by the way, they have a quarterback change with O'Connell Starr.
01:28Do you think there's any chance the Steelers could cut a deal with them this weekend?
01:32No.
01:33I think, here's the thing, the Steelers are an old school team.
01:36I know for a fact that they have interest.
01:38They're at least half a dozen teams, I'm told, that have interest.
01:41But I don't see, here's Scott, Adams is making just under a million dollars a week.
01:48It's very hard to give up a second round pick.
01:52And I know Adams is still very good.
01:53He does turn 32 fairly soon.
01:57He's got massive amount of salary due in his final two years after the season, which have
02:02to be redone.
02:03No one's going to pay $35 million a season.
02:05That ain't happening.
02:06So they got to chop those years off or redo it.
02:09But you got to pay them right now over a million a week.
02:13That's guaranteed.
02:14And then you got to figure out a way to make it work under the salary cap.
02:19And then you've got to make the Raiders happy because the other thing is here, who's going
02:24to pay the salary?
02:25Are the Raiders going to pay part of it, none of it?
02:27Are the other teams going to pay it?
02:29But as one team told me, the longer this goes on, actually the more leverage they could
02:33have because some teams who are now around 500 will be better than they probably thought.
02:38And by the way, I know no one's talking about Washington.
02:41We know they're in on IU, but no one's talking about Adams for Washington.
02:45What about the trade down on the 7-1?
02:47How in the world do they not get help for Jane Daniels as quarterback?
02:50They absolutely would have to.
