Davante Adams made headlines before the 2024 NFL Draft by firmly stating that he had no desire to leave the Las Vegas Raiders, emphatically declaring, “Las Vegas is where I want to be.”
However, five months down the line and with the Raiders stumbling to a 1-2 start, which included a crushing blowout by the previously winless Carolina Panthers on Sunday, could his stance be changing?
Adams has been a bright spot in an otherwise rocky start, recording 18 receptions on 27 attempts for 209 yards and a touchdown over three games. Yet, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce hinted at underlying issues, mentioning post-game that some players made “business decisions” during Sunday’s loss. On Monday, he stood by those comments and hinted at exploring a potential trade for starting quarterback Gardner to replace Aidan O’Connell.
The 31-year-old Adams, a six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, remains under contract with the Raiders through the 2026 season. Interestingly, SportsBetting.ag has revived market speculation on possible destinations for Adams, suggesting his loyalty may be tested.
Leading the charge are the New York Jets, where Adams could reunite with his former Green Bay Packers teammate, superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Adding Adams to a Jets offense already featuring Garrett Wilson would undoubtedly make them a force to reckon with.
Next in line are the Kansas City Chiefs, although dealing Adams to a fierce division rival would be a challenging decision for Raiders GM Tom Telesco. Apart from the Chiefs, the top contenders are primarily AFC powerhouses like the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, both of whom are in need of a top-tier receiving threat.
