00:00Look, Devontae Adams is one of the best wide receivers in football, but one of the best
00:05wide receivers in the last 10 years, no doubt about it.
00:08If the Raiders, but I don't, I honestly don't believe the Raiders will trade with the 49ers.
00:13That's why the Colonel Mac deal, John Lynch had a deal in place, or was trying to make
00:16the deal happen, and the Raiders just would not trade with the 49ers.
00:19They weren't going to do it.
00:20If they wanted a second round pick of Brendan Aik, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
00:23And that's no disrespect to Brendan Aik, that's just how much I love Devontae Adams and how
00:27much of an accomplished receiver he is.
00:29Can you imagine Devontae with Brock Purdy?
00:32Oh my gosh.
00:33So you're giving up a second round pick and Brendan Aik?
00:36Yeah, why not?
00:37I'm getting Devontae.
00:38The health of picks.
00:40He's basically a rental this year, by the way, because all the guaranteed money is this
00:43season and then you could move off of him if you were to do that.
00:46No, it's interesting because I do believe Devontae is a better player than Brendan Aik,
00:49but it's crazy how like we were, you're not alone.
00:53I'm not isolating you.
00:54I'm saying fans, we were all like, he's worth this, he's worth this.
00:58And then another player who's a little bit better, maybe a lot better, I don't know what
01:02the degrees are.
01:03Yeah.
01:04Not only are we trading this guy that we, you know, balked all summer about paying,
01:08whether he was worth X, Y, and Z, we're also stapling a second round pick.
01:12I find that to be, wow, shocking.
01:15Third round pick, second round pick, it's Devontae Adams, it's Devontae Adams.
01:18What does he do that much better than Brendan Aik?
01:21One-on-one, you're not going to guard him one-on-one.
01:23You will have to double him every single play.
01:27And if you don't, and you go one-on-one, well, Devontae Adams can run every single
01:32route to a T. He's the best route runner in football.
01:36I mean, him and Justin Jefferson are like 1A, 1B when it comes to route running.
01:40Big boy, we want to talk about isolating a guy in a red zone, high point in the football,
01:44Devontae does that.
01:45No, I love him.
01:46I mean, I love him as a player.
01:48So that's what you're getting.
01:49We're getting the ultimate respect from defenses, and it's opening up the field for everybody
01:54else.
01:55Because you may not have Chris McCaffrey this year.
01:57You just may not have him.
01:59And we talk about man-beaters in the Super Bowl, and this year, and getting Yak and separation.
02:03Well, guess what Devontae does, Spadoni?
02:06You see it?
02:07He beats man-coverage.
02:08Hell, he beats double teams.
02:10So that's just, and I don't think it's going to happen.
02:13But I call.
02:14I try to make it happen.
02:16Well, it could, because there is a relationship between IUK and the head coach Antonio Pierce.
02:21Like there is a legit relationship there.
02:24IUK talked about it during the Super Bowl when they even asked about Antonio Pierce
02:27when he became the Raiders full-time head coach, because he was on Herman Edward Staff
02:31Antonio Pierce at Arizona State, where Brandon IUK obviously went to college.
02:35So there is something there.
02:37Now, I don't think a lot of players are going to be offering, or a lot of teams I should
02:42say, be offering like legit players for him, right?
02:45There's been some rumors, like do the Jets offer Garrett Wilson?
02:48I don't think so.
02:49No.
02:50No, you want to add to Garrett Wilson.
02:51Yeah, exactly.
02:52Correct.
02:53Did you see his quote the other day?
02:54Do they offer Hassan Redick maybe?
02:56That's something that is interesting, right?
02:59Like if I'm the Raiders, I think about that.
03:01See, I was going to take it a step further.
03:03If I'm the Niners, I trade IUK to the Jets for Hassan Redick and do some sort of a pick
03:09swap and then use some of that ammunition in part to go land Devontae Adams.
03:16That's how I was thinking.
03:18That's a lot.
03:19That's a lot.
03:21I think where I'm coming down is...
03:23And the last thing Niner fans need is another guy who held out a trading camp and needs
03:28to ramp up.
03:29I hear you.
03:30You know what I'm saying?
03:31That's where, you know, this guy ramping up, ramping up, ramping up.
03:34It's like, all right, Bolson missed trading camp late in week one and it was a down year
03:38for Bolson.
03:39We were all ticked off about it.
03:40So look, question.
03:41How do you think the 408 Comcast Business Text Line, Devontae, do you think the Raiders
03:45will consider trading to Niners now that they're in Vegas?
03:48There's a lot of Raider fans here in the Bay Area.
03:50I don't know though.
03:51I don't know.
03:52Maybe it's a possibility.
03:53But I think one thing is he played in a system similar.
03:56LeFleur's system is obviously going to be very similar to Shanahan's and he thrived
03:59under it.
04:01I think this is more about IUK if we're being 100% honest.
04:04That's where I'm kind of coming from.
04:05It is about Devontae.
04:06I think like, Devontae's great.
04:08There's no doubt.
04:09But hearing how quick, and I'm not just, I'm not trying to pick on you.
04:12I'm saying like, you're one of IUK's biggest fans.
04:15You love the player.
04:16Chesky is Devontae Adams.
04:17No, I know.
04:18But wouldn't you also agree the early returns on just the whole IUK experience for the last
04:24couple months has been odd.
04:26Well, I blame both parties.
04:29I think both parties have seller-buyer's remorse.
04:32And look, I gave credit to Brandon IUK for taking accountability saying I made this harder
04:36than it needed to be.
04:38But then last Friday happened.
04:40Last Friday happened.
04:42And I think it is a big deal what happened last Friday.
04:45I know you didn't want to talk about it after when.
04:49But last Friday is a big deal to me.
04:50Why?
04:51Why?
04:52It's just little things like that.
04:53Like we're, we got to school this kid like he's a child or something.
04:56Like Shanahan walks over there, back and forth, and Shanahan knows the media's over there.
05:01They know the media's right there on the sideline.
05:02Guy's got their camera phones out looking.
05:05And he guys, he has to go over there and talk to him.
05:07And then he has to go back and talk to him.
05:09And then IUK, the way he takes off the shorts, now it's a small, a lot of people is like,
05:14you don't think there's some teammates in our locker room saying, damn, dude, just wear
05:18the right shorts.
05:19This is not what we do.
05:20This is not the 49er way.
05:21T-Ball's out here wearing the right shorts.
05:22Trent's wearing the right shorts.
05:23Boston's wearing the right shorts.
05:25And at the theatrics of it, I don't take that lightly.
05:29Well, I do believe that there is a teammate thing that has been kind of like, not brewing.
05:35I don't want to say simmering, but it's been there.
05:38Like John Jennings posted some things on Instagram during the IUK stuff during the summer that
05:44could be interpreted like, hey man, you're getting a little greedy here considering the
05:49situation.
05:50That's the way I interpreted it.
05:51And John Jennings has said some things in post game where, I don't know, to me, it does
05:56feel like IUK, I don't want to go as strong as say like, oh, him and his teammates, there's
06:02friction.
06:03He doesn't feel 100% a part of the team right now.
06:06That's the feeling I get.
06:08The fact that he was willing to go to Pittsburgh and he felt like the Niners did not respect
06:12him in a way that he wanted to be respected.
06:15Then you know what?
06:16Go to Antonio Pierce.
06:17But we're talking about Devontae Adams and I have red zone issues.
06:21We're 8-16 for the red zone.
06:23We're one of the worst teams when it comes to converting touchdowns in the red zone.
06:27So if Devontae Adams, he's a one-man wrecking crew in the red zone.
06:32In the red zone, you're going to get massive production from Devontae Adams.
06:36So we're talking about Devontae.
06:38There's only a few guys I'm trading Brett and IUK for.
06:41Devontae is one of those guys at the wide receiver position.
06:43If you don't want to be here, because obviously there is some friction.
06:47Now, if IUK wants to play ball and stay here, I'm cool with that because I do like me some
06:52Brett and IUK.
06:53I think he's a very good wide receiver.
06:55But the Raiders want to be dumb enough to flip Devontae Adams already?
06:59And you know what?
07:00I have a disgruntled wide receiver and we're getting off to a slow start here.
07:04And we went through this whole dog and pony show in the month of August.
07:09And you know what?
07:10And by the way, let's not forget, John Lynch did field calls on both Brennan IUK and Devo
07:17Samuel.
07:18So they've searched that avenue.
07:23They've driven down this avenue to trade Brennan IUK before.
07:25So I got no problem with it.
07:27It's a big business.
07:28I'm trying to win a damn Super Bowl.
07:29Well, it just feels like to me that the Niners clearly were trying to do major movement in
07:34the offseason and things didn't materialize.
07:37And then I think plan B was like, all right, we'll try to get the IUK deal done.
07:40But I don't think in their minds, this is just my feel.
07:44I don't think IUK's in the cards long term.
07:46I just don't.
07:47And I think IUK kind of knows it.
07:48And I think he got his money because it was a marriage of convenience for both parties.
07:54This feels very one and done to me.
07:56It just has that feeling, B. There's just something going on.
