Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels has no issues with Davante Adams venting on the Raiders and according to him, the All-Pro receiver earned the right to vent on the Raiders. Also, he’s got a voice and opinion via ESPN;
 Las Vegas Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said Thursday that he had no issue with All-Pro receiver Davante Adams venting recently by saying he and the team did not see “eye-to-eye” on the direction of the franchise.
McDaniels said Adams, entering his 10th NFL season, has “an opinion and a voice because [he has] earned it” over the course of his career.
“And I respect the hell out of anything that [he] would say or suggest or anything like that,” McDaniels said. “During the course of the process of trying to improve our team, which, I know where Davante comes from, he’s a competitor. He wants to win, and that’s really his sole focus, and that’s what he does here every day. He’s here pushing himself, pushing his teammates. He’s been a tremendous leader again this spring for our football team.”
Adams, meanwhile, said he was “unapologetically me” while adding that he is sometimes taken out of context while reiterating his “love” for McDaniels and Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler and said he looked forward to catching passes from new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
“I’m ecstatic to get to work with the new guys, and Jimmy’s a great guy, love him to death,” Adams said. “I didn’t know him very well before he got here.
“As far as the front office … I haven’t had a relationship like what I have with those guys … so you can grab something and run with it if you want just to get clicks, and that’s what people often do with me and things that I say, whether I misspeak or if I speak up.
“But at the end of the day, I’m a Raider and I’m excited to be here. I love my head coach, and I love the general manager here and everybody, I mean, from the top to the bottom … when I say that these are some good men in this place, that I really value the relationship that I have with them, I mean that. So that’s about all that needs to be said.”
Adams, a six-time Pro Bowler who has also been named first-team All-Pro the past three seasons, was acquired in a blockbuster trade from the Green Bay Packers last spring and reunited with his college quarterback from Fresno State in Derek Carr.
