Will Brinson's NFL Week 5 picks, best bets: Revenge on the mind for Stefon Diggs, D.J. Moore, Garrett Wilson

Best bets for Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season, plus why Davante Adams may not be the answer for Jets and Saints

The Davante Adams saga is pretty wild. Here we have a borderline Hall of Fame wide receiver who asked to be traded out of Green Bay in order to facilitate joining his college buddy Derek Carr in Las Vegas. Then after Carr got let go, he realized he was stuck in a bad spot and once his coach liked an Instagram post suggesting he was going to be traded or could be traded or might want to be traded or whatever, Adams suddenly has an injured hamstring. And now, apparently, is actually getting traded. 

Now by all accounts his hammy is actually hurt and teams who are trying to acquire him know that. But adding to the insanity is Adams only wanting to play for the Jets ... or the Saints. He really, really loves Derek Carr! And Rodgers obviously. 

I think Adams is an awesome player. No question about it. But I do wonder if he necessarily puts either the Jets or the Saints over the top in their quest for a Super Bowl.
