One expert believes the Dallas Cowboys should make a blockbuster trade for Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams as the trade deadline draws near. The Dallas Cowboys have already stated that they will not be actively seeking a deal, or at least that is what owner Jerry Jones wants everyone to believe, with the NFL trade deadline approaching. 

“We would need to get a trade,” Jones stated this week. “I don’t want to in any way hinder it. However, the beginning of an opportunity to make a deal that would primarily benefit us must come from the opposite end.

Both Davante Adams and cowboys

Jones’ stance has been comprehensively discredited by our Mike Fisher as a “nonsensical word salad.” Now, let’s do this respectfully: Even if Jerry makes a new rule of some kind, there may be exceptions to it, such as the possible departure of top wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, as was just reported in an article. 

In regards to Adams being a possible trade candidate for the Cowboys, The Athletic reports, “Yes, Las Vegas reportedly told teams recently that it is not trading the six-time Pro Bowler.” That implies that if he is traded, nobody should be overly shocked. Adams, 30, is still full of potential after a 1,500-yard, 14-touchdown season in Las Vegas the previous year. Even though it would be pricey, it might be well worth the money.

Adams has participated in all seven games this season, totaling 528 yards and three touchdowns on 46 receptions. Considering that Adams would be the starting wide receiver in Dallas, this is not a bad start. (All credit given to CeeDee Lamb.) But such figures haven’t stopped Adams’s rumored frustrations. The Cowboys would have to take the chance if Adams is eventually available at the trade deadline and a chance to acquire him presents itself, if only by giving it a call to inquire about the market value. (Plus a first-round selection?) That does not, however, imply that a transfer is practically feasible. 

Adams would surely improve the sometimes lackluster passing game for the Cowboys. Dallas has notably lacked the consistency to score touchdowns in the red zone, and occasionally the receivers strugglе to create separation. However, quarterback Dak Prescott has been making quicker decisions and is more protective of the football than he was last year—at least outside of the loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

As a legitimate No. 1 receiver, Adams might benefit the Cowboys on all fronts. However, in an era with a salary cap, the 30-year-old’s five-year, $140 million contract with the Raiders may offer financial flexibility that needs to be investigated. 

In a void, Adams to the Cowboys is a tempting proposition. However, the reality makes it much less feasible and a little less appealing.
