The New Orleans Saints stunned their fan base by making the decision to waive wide receiver AT Perry on Friday, but many fans’ first thoughts turned to another wideout after the shock wore off: Davante Adams. The six-time Pro Bowler has submitted a trade request to the Las Vegas Raiders, who began exploring their options this week.

According to reports, the Saints were at the top of Adams’ wish list of destinations, and they could do with more help at this position given their reliance on youngsters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. There isn’t much of a veteran presence at wide receiver in New Orleans, and Adams could add a lot to the offense given his strong resume and previous experiences with Derek Carr.

But while it’s fun to speculate about Perry’s departure paving the way for an Adams trade, that feels more like wishful thinking than actual dot-connection. It’s not like Perry took up a ton of salary cap space, and the Raiders might have liked to have thrown him into the package of assets they got in return for Adams.

So maybe don’t draw conclusions too quickly based on this selection move. Perry could sign to the practice squad after clearing waivers and the Saints should clear a roster spot for running back Kendre Miller if he comes off injured reserve this week.

Still, it’s a curiously timed selection move. And Adams could pick up his favorite No. 17 jersey when he moves to New Orleans. Stay informed.
