49ers Must Consider Trading for Davante Adams

Davante Adams

The Las Vegas Raiders now officially announced that Davante Adams is seeking a trade. This gives the San Francisco 49ers the golden opportunity before them. Of course, they already have solid fillers in the receiver position, but we’re talking about Adams. He can just elevate games in ways no other has been able to. Do you even imagine what kind of threat he would pose on the field? The Niners should think about this in motion but act about pursuing it seriously. A great player like Adams only comes along once in a lifetime.

Adams’ Impact on 49ers

One of the strongest arguments the 49ers could throw for taking Adams is about the role he might play on his team. Think of him as a safety net for quarterback Brock Purdy. While not a running back, Adams can run precise routes. He creates separation like few others, and, therefore, it is easier for Purdy to throw the ball to him in critical situations. Adams’s presence on the field would force defenses to readjust their schemes, and the rest of the offense would breathe much more easily. This may be the game-changer, particularly for a team like the Niners, which is hoping to go as far down as it can in the playoffs.

Draft Capital and Financial Implications

Now for the boring stuff: draft capital. Raiders are happy to give up a deal that hinges on a second-round pick. Of course, that’s almost a chump change for a player of Adams’ caliber. The real problem for the Niners is cash. They do not have much cap space remaining, so they might have to trade away a big contract, like Brandon Aiyuk. Off-field transgressions such as those committed by Aiyuk may make this a feasible option. This trade could give both players a fresh start, and the 49ers get an elite receiver who is hungry to win.

Or, in more graphic terms: the risk of letting Adams fall into a division foe’s arms. If he goes to a team like the Rams or Seahawks, he instantly makes them a much more formidable force in their division. It leaves this 49ers team in a precarious place if he were to become part of a Super Bowl contender like the Chiefs or Jets. Given that the 49ers started slowly, they should not let their competition grow stronger. Having Adams under their wing can be all the difference between fighting for the championship trophy or only watching someone else do so.

Conclusion

Trading for Davante Adams should seriously weigh upon the minds of the 49ers. He has skills that no one else has; thus, bringing a fresh dynamic that would change the whole course of the season. With Davante Adams, of course, comes a financial hurdle and the need to part with a player like Aiyuk, but in terms of what can be earned by the award of their season, I’m sure there is much to take more risk.

If Adams ends up being a rival, this might come to haunt the Niners for years to come. They must act quickly; it’s a chance they may never want to miss. After all, elite talents like Adams are rare, and the 49ers could really use one in their roster.
