The Saints are a team to watch for Davante Adams….they think they are close https://t.co/u3bqqxC1fg

Don’t tell the New Orleans Saints they can’t win a Super Bowl this year. That’s the advice Chase Daniel shared with his FOX Sports 1 coworker Emmanuel Acho. Daniel has done well for himself after parlaying a career as a backup quarterback into a turn in the media, and he still has several old teammates and coaches in the building in New Orleans. He knows how Dennis Allen and his squad think.
So when Acho downplayed the Saints as a possible trade destination for Las Vegas Raiders wideout Davante Adams, Daniel pushed back.
“The Saints, they think they’re a contender,” Daniel refuted. “The Saints internally think they’re contenders.”
It doesn’t help Acho’s argument that Adams put the Saints and New York Jets at the top of his list of trade destinations, owing to his past experience with Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers. Daniel pointed to Carr’s positive relationship with Allen as another point in his favor.
So where will Adams end up? He’s being held out of Raiders practice with a hamstring injury described as a week-to-week condition, which sounds like the kind of convenient ailment that should clear up with a change of scenery. It wouldn’t be easy, but the Saints do have the resources to acquire Adams, and Allen’s recent comments about the shortcomings of his receiving corps suggests he’d welcome the help. Maybe Daniel is on to something here.
