The Las Vegas Raiders have struggled with Davante Adams despite his constant high-level play and several thousand-yard seasons, primarily because of his erratic quarterback play. The change under center has frequently limited Adams’ ability to have a game-changing impact, from Derek Carr to Jimmy Garoppolo, Aidan O’Connell, and most recently Gardner Minshew.
Thoughts of the top wide out being dealt in the middle of the season gained traction on Monday after head coach Antonio Pierce liked a social media post citing NFL analyst Michael Fabiano. A rumor concerning Adams’ future with the Raiders was swiftly sparked by this subtly suggestive move.
The last time Adams played was against the Carolina Panthers in Week 4, when he suffered a hamstring injury.

Pierce openly stated after the 36-22 loss that several players “did not show up,” which sparked more rumors regarding roster dissatisfaction. Pierce said : “I feel like, I don’t know, this is tough for me to identify that. I’m not sure,”
Although Fabiano’s remarks fueled rumors of a potential deal, not everyone is buying it. NFL insider Adam Schefter spoke on “The Pat McAfee Show,” indicating that the Raiders did not entertain trade talks throughout the offseason and that Adams is unlikely to be transferred, at least not to a divisional opponent like the Kansas City Chiefs.
