Report: Raiders calling teams to gauge interest in Adams
The Las Vegas Raiders are growing open to the prospect of trading star receiver Davante Adams, with the club reaching out to teams to gauge interest, a source told Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Adams has been the focal point of trade speculation again in recent weeks, including after head coach Antonio Pierce seemingly liked an Instagram post Monday about the possibility that the star receiver had played his final snap as a Raider.
The 31-year-old responded Tuesday, saying he was unsure why his coach liked the post and hadn't heard from him yet during an appearance on "Up & Adams."
It was previously reported before Sunday's Week 4 game that trading Adams wasn't currently an option for the Raiders. Las Vegas also reportedly turned down multiple suitors who inquired about Adams' availability over the summer. The New York Jets were rumored to be interested over the offseason, which would lead to a reunion between Adams and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The three-time All-Pro was sidelined in Week 4 and is reportedly week-to-week due to a hamstring injury. Asked about the possibility that he may have already played his final down with Las Vegas, Adams said Tuesday, "All I can control is this talk we're having right here, and then after we're done with this, all I can control is the next thing I'm on to."
The Raiders acquired the former Green Bay Packers receiver in a trade during the 2022 offseason. He caught 100 passes for 1,516 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns in his first season before following it up with a 1,144-yard campaign in 2023.
Adams is under contract through 2026 on a five-year deal worth $140 million. The NFL's trade deadline is Nov. 5 at 4 p.m. ET.
