Davante Adams is a Las Vegas Raider! Derek Carr said he would buy Adams a car to get him on the team so what car should he get him? Davante Adams trade from the Green Bay Packers to the Raiders completely changed the wide receiver market in the NFL. Soto walks us through how the DeAndre Hopkins trade from the Houston Texans to the Arizona Cardinals led to Tyreek Hill leaving the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City Chiefs have now lost Tyreek Hill, Tyrann Mathieu (FA), Jarran Reed, CB Charvarius Ward, Mike Remmers, Demarcus Robinson and others. With the team shedding players for cap space, the Windbags discuss if the dynasty is over in Kansas City. The Windbags looked at the ten biggest contracts given out in free agency during the Jon Gruden era. Trent Brown, Tyrell Williams, Lamarcus Joyner, Cory Littleton, Yannick Ngakoue, Carl Nassib, Nick Kwiatkoski, Tahir Whitehead, Marcus Mariota and Jordy Nelson. Gruden was a terrible talent evaluator. The Raiders haven't made any big splashes at offensive line so it looks like the starting line is Kolton Miller, Jon Simpson, Andre James, Denzell Good, Alex Leatherwood and Brandon Parker. It looks like Josh McDaniels and company didn't look at Tom Cable as a good coach and they can coach these guys up. Does Derek Carr have thin skin? He took to Twitter explaining why he blocks everyone. 0:00 Intro 1:00 Question of the Day 4:50 Davante Adams Changes the AFC West 20:25 Is the Chiefs Dynasty Falling Apart? 29:14 Jon Gruden SUCKED in Free Agency 41:09 The Offensive Line Philosophy 52:27 Derek Carr's Thin Skin 1:00:53 What Up, Windbags?

With free agency underway, the Windbags look at the Raiders (non)moves so far. With so many free agents available, who should the Raiders target? Stephon Gilmore, Allen Robinson, Darious Williams, Billy Turner, Daryl Williams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Miles Jack, Tyrann Mathieu? They discuss. They also address the philosophy of free agency moving forward. The coaching staff of Josh McDaniels and company, plus new GM Dave Ziegler, are still getting to know the roster. They need time to make the right moves. With the Las Vegas Raiders targeting other running backs in the NFL, are the Raiders looking to trade Josh Jacobs? The former #1 pick is due a ton of money coming up and Josh McDaniels doesn't usually have one back carry the majority of the load. Khalil Mack got traded from the Chicago Bears to the LA Chargers for a 5th round pick. Amari Cooper got traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Cleveland Browns for a 2nd and 6th. This proves the Raiders won both trades from 2018. Zay Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars for all the money. Once again, Derek Carr made a wide receiver extremely wealthy. Same as Nelson Agholor last season and Jared Cook a few seasons before. 0:00 Intro 0:47 Derek Carr's Touch 2:40 Question of the Day: Who Should Be Raiders #1 Target in Free Agency? 21:51 Mistakes the Raiders MUST Avoid in Free Agency 33:23 Are the Raiders Trading Josh Jacobs? 45:16 Raiders Won Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper Trades 49:59 Zay Jones is RICH!! 1:01:10 What Up, Windbags?
