Improving the WR Corps (Mike Williams Signs - 3 Years 60M)

[dmac_bolt]

That gets tricky with the sign and trade

I think the Chargers would have to have a good idea Adams would sign if they do not sign MW

Sign them both, trade KA.

Sign them both, trade KA.

If there were a market in that scenario - I would take a 5th for KA at this point just to move the salary. Granted, if you trade KA this offseason, becomes an 8.1m dead cap hit. It looks like KA is set to make 16.5m in 2022 - guaranteed.

Crazy talk about trading Keenan.

And to think there has been complaining about letting our good players go and now we have talk about trading one of our best players, wtf.

We aren't signing Davante Adams,.... not going to happen!

If you can upgrade the roster - you upgrade the roster

Getting rid of Keenan Allen and signing Christian Kirk - ehh, not so much

Signing Mike Williams and bringing in Adams at the expense of Allen - that might be an upgrade

Its when you let a player leave and not upgrade is the issue. I think most observers around the NFL would think Adams + Williams is a fine combo at WR

That said, I agree, Adams will not be a Charger in all likelihood

[Eurobolt]

Why not sign Allen Robinson less money than Adams or Mike Williams and he will do wonders with Herbert at QB.

[equivocation]

Yeah, I can envision this happening. Obviously, Keenan has more good seasons behind him than he does ahead of him at this point.

That said, guys like Larry Fitzgerald, A.J. Greene and Julio Jones remained super productive long after they had physically passed their peaks. They worked tirelessly, and were ultra-competitors. Keenan may prove to be that kind of wideout, as well.

All those guys were as fast at 35 as Allen at 25.

I love Allen's game but he has very little margin to give in terms of speed.

Other teams are going to want him too. Can we outbid other teams for Davante Adams' services? Then you add in the fact how this team likes to be cheap.

Chargers can afford him - probably means MW is not back
May limit other options in free agency this year - because this is the Chargers and not the Saints
But they can afford him

[RollingThunder]

Count me in on the Adam's to the Chargers train. If you can get him here, even if it's in place of MW you do it 10 times out of 10.

[FoutsFan]

This is the point in the offseason where it gets weird.

People are trying to out bafoon each other, soon we will be having posters saying we should trade Herbert for the next ten years of 7th round draft picks. We should trade all our high round picks and stockpile 7th round picks and so on. Or trade KA for a 5th round pick.

I get the frustration but do not double down on stupid because you are frustrated.

Agreed
Love Davante Adams, but we to spend our salary cap on defense. On offense, all I'm looking for is a right tackle, and a right guard. Even if we let MW go his way in FA, I still like our receivers.

RT and a RB.

If we lose MW , WR becomes an issue. Likely drafting one early.

Tough to pin point things til after FA',cy. It's going to be one of the most important free agencys for us in a long time because we have many holes and need to get Staley's type of guys and the draft won't fill them all.
