Over the course of the NFL offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders were constantly in the headlines, with seemingly endless rumors and speculation about superstar wide receiver Davante Adams.
Initially, Adams landed with the Raiders in a trade with the Green Bay Packers, intending to reunite with Fresno State teammate and best friend Derek Carr, the longtime starting quarterback for the storied franchise.
However, even though the two stars were able to join forces again on the football field and play together for a short time in Las Vegas, the reunion wasn’t meant to be on a long-term basis, with Carr getting benched and ultimately released by the team after Adams’ first season in Sin City.
This wasn’t ideal for Adams, especially after Jimmy Garoppolo came in and proved to be a downgrade from Carr, resulting in a lost 2023 campaign that was a disaster from start to finish.
With Adams not happy in Las Vegas, even though he seemed to perk up after Antonio Pierce took over as head coach following McDaniels’ firing, the veteran wideout appears unhappy with his situation once again and would prefer to be traded, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

With the Raiders sitting at 2-2 after the win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 4, the team isn’t in dire straits, as some predicted they would be at this point in the season, but clearly Adams wants out.
The real question now is where will Adams land, as both of his former quarterbacks, Carr and Aaron Rodgers, could use a wide receiver of his caliber to help their respective teams this season.
