The huge news in the NFL the other day was Las Vegas Raiders pass receiver Davante Adams asking for a trade, and with the Pittsburgh Steelers having a hole at pass receiver behind George Pickens, they're a sensible group to link the dots with including a trade. ESPN NFL expert Dan Graziano offered a couple of names that might be of interest to the Steelers in his weekly news and keeps in mind column for ESPN, and stated he anticipates the group to be in on Adams.
[Amari] Cooper would be one to look for Pittsburgh, though it ‘d be an in-division trade, and those are difficult to perform,” Graziano composes. “I would anticipate the Steelers to be in on Davante Adams together with DeAndre Hopkins, if he appears, and I do question Christian Kirk in Jacksonville.”
When it comes to the non-Adams names, it's difficult to envision the Steelers and Cleveland Browns pertaining to terms on an Amari Cooper trade, particularly given that Cleveland and Pittsburgh play two times in the 2nd half of the season. Cooper seems like speculation more than anything, as does Christian Kirk. Graziano discussed both DeAndre Hopkins and Kirk when speaking about the Steelers recently, however those names feel more like speculation than anything.
Adams is various offered there's now a trade demand out there and both sides may be inspired to discover an offer. The Raiders are supposedly requesting for a second-round choice and extra payment, which is truly high and a rate that the Steelers likely would not pay. The group wanted to quit second- and third-round choices in the offseason for WR Brandon Aiyuk, however he is 5 years more youthful than Adams.
If the Raiders hold company on that level of settlement, it's going to be difficult for them to discover any takers for Adams. The other bit that makes getting the six-time Pro Bowler tough for the Steelers is he'll have a variety of suitors, and his relationship with Aaron Rodgers from their time with the Green Bay Packers makes the New York Jets a group to enjoy. If I needed to think today, I ‘d state Adams winds up with the Jets, which has actually been a reported landing area since last season.
There's little doubt that Omar Khan will make a couple of calls to Raiders GM Tom Telesco and attempt to get something going. At 3-1, the Steelers have the prospective to make some sound this season, and including another leading receiver together with George Pickens might take their offense to the next level. Provided how involved Pittsburgh remained in the Aiyuk trade conversations, it's clear the Steelers will check out the concept of updating, specifically if they discover the asking rate more tasty.
