And Adam Thielen and Julian Edelman.
I don't hate that, and I also love the 49ers who you brought up, Brad.
I think if you're Kyle Shanahan coming off of the Brandon Iyuk drama, I don't think you're going to get any of that from Mike Evans.
Mike Evans will line up where you tell him to.
He's going to run his routes hard.
He's going to block hard.
He's going to go win those contested passes.
So I think if Brock Purdy would make him a favorite target of his really early, and with Jawan Jennings probably on the way out, that gives you that big-bodied receiver that I think that this offense is always kind of looking to add to its receiver room.
I think that this is as close as we've been, right?
I'm like you, right?
I actually thought that if there was a time to deal with it, it would have been right after they fired Antonio Pierce.
I thought that that was a really good inflection point to have said, hey, we know you're a franchise-level player.
We think you could potentially be on the fringes of being a Hall of Famer, and obviously we would love for you to do so.
as a Raider, but the truth of the matter is, is that we are probably several years, right?
By the time we are ready to compete at the level that meets what you play at, you are not going to be at this level anymore, right?
So I thought that there was maybe a missed opportunity there, even if he had expressed, and he had at that time that he wanted to be a Raider, right?
He was coming off of a surgery, I think, when he got his extension.
So that kind of showed that make good, you know, we believe in you type of move.
