I doubt the rams are interested. They've been going the obvious young route the last two seasons. Signing a declining vet doesn't make sense. If it was DA from 4 years ago. Yes

Not as much as you might think. On a per game basis, their stats are comparable.

Adams: 76 YDS/GM, 0.57 TDs/GM, 6.1 REC/GM

Kupp: 59 YDS/GM, 0.50 TDs/GM, 5.6 REC/GM

17 more yards per game
0.07 more TDs per game
0.5 more receptions per game

And, remove the one fairy-tale half game Adams had with about 198yards and his ypg is down to about 66.

Seriously, players don't give a shyte as to what fans think is "reasonable." They are looking for the market rate and not your fantasy roster parameters. When I hear "reasonable" salary by fans, I know the fantasy GM comments following are bull shyte.

i think adams and stafford could be pretty special and I think he’d be a big help in the red zone in particular

Agreed. I think Adams and Kupp is a swap that improves our offense, but I wouldn't want to pay him huge money or a large contract.
I don't think he is near the player on a whole as Kupp is. Kupp does so much more in the locker room and on the field. Do you see Adams blocking downfield as effectively as Cooper? and Cooper's game smarts is valuable. The team that gets Kupp gets so much more than a good receiver. If the Rams want youth than go after youth not some guy with a year or two left in the tank. We already have that guy.

Take a TE at the top or by round 3 to beef the offense in possession and give them some actual 12 set potency. I prioritize the TE because I think the impact of these guys at the top is potentially greater than the wideout options but of course never know how they go off that board.

Same with WR, this unit is going to get cleared out this year, it will be a turnover year for that part of the roster so investment is required. If the flanker option isn't there then take the Restrepo/Bech type option instead and scheme them open. May need to take a couple this year, I'd like a guy like Muhammad late rounds.

Other than that juice the fuck out of this defense this offseason. We will have the QB in Stafford with the balanced attack. So a top defense is the way and let him pull games out late by getting him the ball back for those key moments.

And his QB sucked before the trade to the Jets

Here's the actual rumor nugget without the clickbait thread title:

Fowler's notebook:

  • The Jets must address the future of receiver Davante Adams, whose $38.3 million cap hit is untenable. A source told me Adams is intrigued by a return to the West Coast and would be open to potentially joining teams such as the Rams or Chargers -- if he gets released. I would put the 49ers in the conversation, too. Adams grew up in Northern California.

I just started looking at the TE class this year, I don't know how someone doesn't get excited about them (more than the WR class).

The top 4 guys look great and it seems like the talent extends well beyond that.

I'm interested in Shakira.

I doubt the interest is mutual.
