The key line for me is "he has been focused on playing well before stepping up contract talks."
I'm sure there's already a dollar amount set aside to re-sign Adams. But being the most highly rated out-of-contract player remaining after all of those re-signings, his management will be sure to have him playing for all he can get.
No real alarm bells for me just yet; is there interest from Victoria? Of course there is. That said, there'd have been interstate interest for the rest of them too. If he has another good couple of weeks leading into the bye, I reckon Scotty Lucas might be handing Taylor a pen on his week off.

Would love to see him commit he has been a leader on the field lately! Would be hilarious if he re-signs and all Vic clubs start srambling to grab Haynes/downie who have both been the least shining light from that draft.

I can see the headline now: "Giants out-of-contract star shuns fledgling club"

Can't wait to see the offers from Bigfooty posters! Adams for second rounder or Adams for third rounder and fringe player over 30 cuz they need experience! He is a gun and will most likely be offered a contract and stay with his mates but don't know how much more cringe inducing hypothetical trade scenarios I can endure!!! Treloar for second rounder!?!? Grrrrrrr

Sorry to intrude but could you see Adams leaving? If so I'd imagine Saints would try to get him. Would Gilbert + Pick Somewhere between 10-20 do?

Adams is the perfect kind of player we should look at trading. Easily covered in the team by other players we have and has shown a lot of promise with some in the bests type performances, all the more so when the team has been disappointing. Would love him to stay but is exactly the type we should try and trade.
While it would be great to hold on to Adams, however if we were able to trade Adams + 2nd rounder for James Frawley we would be crazy not to do it.
Adams went pick 13 and has been in really good form. I'd want someone or something decent for him. A player and a late first round pick, or early 2nd round (depending on the player).
We knew we couldn't hold on to everyone and if it is Adams that is the mass exodus then so be it. But don't expect to get him cheap.

He is uncontracted so if we can't secure a trade he can walk to the preseason draft for nothing can't he? Would we want to redraft him there?

I honestly expect him to stay. He is really close with the boys in his draft and his best mate is smith. There hasn't been a hint about him being homesick and the club had his back when he was arrested. He will most likely headline a group of re-signings such as the nsw/act boys.

Imagine pick 40-50 would be a fair deal but a bit overpriced maybe pick 60-70 range depending how generous the club is

Honestly havnt watched many saints games so not sure who is tracking well. Would rather hold onto Adams but if he wanted to go to the saints I would like a player like fisher but would Adams alone suffice?

Would be a straight swap both clubs win but doubt Fisher would go

If Adams was to go into the Pres-season draft he could very easily be picked up by Melbourne. That may not be to his liking, such as a negotiated return to Geelong. I wonder what the Cats could offer as a successful deal. However, I hope he stays if he sees his future with us over a long period of time.
No chance. Not because the trade is unfair, but because I don't think he will want to play for Melbourne.
I think your right there I would actually think he would be open to any vic club but melb, but interesting to see that on your board that Dustin Martin could be involved in a trade for Adams - whats the go there?
I have no idea. This is Big Footy and a whole bunch of rumours and trade suggestions get thrown around. Of course I would like Richmond to have a crack at getting Adams. Just like most clubs would be looking at their prospects of getting him. I will leave it to our recruiters and football department to determine if it's worth pursuing rather than speculating by throwing names and draft picks around.
