What the Saints Say About Davante Adams

The Saints are obviously one of those teams that could be in the Davante Adams sweepstakes, but there are a lot of moving parts and pieces that need to happen to get there. Quarterback Derek Carr said Thursday afternoon that he had conversations with the Raiders receiver. However, this has nothing to do with football. Now, whether you believe it or not is up to you.

“Me and Tae, our families, he’s one of my best friends,” Carr said Thursday when asked about his relationship with Adams.

“He will always be one of my best friends. We went on vacation together, our families together, up to Cabo and all that kind of stuff. That doesn’t change no matter what teams we play for. Tae and I are always close. “We will always be close. I love his wife, I love his kids, and my kids certainly love him and he always plays with them, so it makes their day too. “

Carr was then asked a follow-up question about whether or not they had any conversations this week, which would make sense given their close bond.

“Yeah, but not what you’d probably think. If you saw my phone, you’d probably laugh… because we’re just friends. Like, business is business. All that stuff is crazy, but yeah me and tae we still talk i know it’s funny that we’re talking this week but nothing crazy.”

Carr was asked if the soon-to-be-traded Raiders receiver confided in him regarding the situation based on his relationship, but it’s between Adams and Las Vegas. Carr said: “It’s all his business, and as a man I would let him talk about anything that concerns him. He’s my friend. He knows I love him and I’m always there for him , way beyond football. But I love doing it.” speak for him, I can’t, I would never do that. »

Would Carr like to play with Adams again? Of course, and he’s not the only one.

“I think all 32 quarterbacks would love to play with Davante. We would love that. I don’t know if I get in trouble for saying that, I just think it’s fair that everyone knows. Kind of like if everyone knew I was doing the Michael Jackson dance, but apparently not I think everyone would love to perform with Tae I would obviously be happy to perform with him again if it ever worked out in our career. , I think I threw it. like 12 touchdowns, so we didn’t win as many games as we thought we would, but it wasn’t that bad, that’s for sure. we don’t even talk about it. It’s things that are out of our control sometimes and I’m so focused here. Would I like to do it?

Early on, Dennis Allen was indirectly asked about the possibility of adding Davante Adams, which started with what he thought of the wide receiver room.

Allen said in his press conference Thursday: “I like our receiving corps. I think we have some good young players that I feel really good about. And I think they’re taking a step forward.”

As he mentioned previously, he singled out Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed for doing good things against the Falcons.

“I love our receivers. I love our team. If there’s ever an opportunity that makes sense to us to help our team, we’re going to try to help our team. But I love our receivers room.”

Allen was then asked for a guess as to if there was a player there, would the Saints consider picking them up. He said: “Yeah, maybe. It depends on the players and a lot of other things.”

The connections and connections are there for New Orleans, but they need the finances to be able to acquire Adams. It looks like it will be processed next week, but the question is where? The Saints could be a destination, but we’ll see.
