Davante Adams lists the Bucs’ NFC South rival, the New Orleans Saints, as a top trade destination

On the surface, both desires make sense. Adams has a good relationship with both quarterbacks, having played with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay and playing with Derek Carr both in college and for a brief stint with the Raiders. He joined the Raiders to play with Carr, so a reunion would make sense on that front. The Saints would likely be happy to acquire his services, but fortunately for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, that could be extremely difficult financially.

The Saints only have about $2.8 million in cap space per over the cap, so that makes it difficult. According to OTC’s Jason Fitzgerald, the Saints would have to go through a lot of restructuring to even get this deal done, so it might not be worth it.

Adams will therefore likely play elsewhere, but we’ve already seen the Saints play around with the cap. And if they can land the star from distance, Tampa Bay better be at its best.
