321 - 3,924 - 34 (GB 2019-2021)
288 - 3,723 - 30 (LV and NYJ 2022-2024)

One caveat is he has played in a handful of more games, the last 3 years v the previous three.  But he is also not 26-28, and these were age 29-32 years.  Drop off is normal, but he is still a dang good football player.

If you could bring Adams in for 2 years, while concurrently flipping Higgins for players/assets at a potentially discounted contract… I could believe that as a cake and eat it too scenario.  If you can’t get value for Tee, I’ll take tee over Adams in a vacuum.

A couple of thoughts: 

1) Comparing Tee's production to that of Adams is probably not a fair comparison. Tee has had to share the table with Chase. Adams basically took all of Renfro's targets when he came in and averaged 160+ targets each year with Raiders. 

2) Having lived through the TO debacle, which I still believe was a major factor in Carson's decision to leave - I am leery of bringing in a outside receiver. 

I know Adams is not poisonous as TO and Burrow is not Carson, but nonetheless; we are in a critical and sensitive juncture with our offense. It may work, but I am not sure we should risk it. 

Bringing in a guy who has been the top dog and expecting him to accept the #2 spot behind Chase is a big gamble. This also speaks volumes about Tee's character, in that he was drafted to be our replacement for AJ Green as the #1. But once Chase was drafted, Tee accepted his #2 role and has been a great partner and Teammate.

So my thoughts are a big NO to Adams and hoping we keep Tee. If not, get Savion Williams in the draft.
