It seemed like Davante Adams was ready to move to New York or New Orleans, but things might have changed. According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Las Vegas Raiders may not trade him after all.
Schefter said that the Raiders do not plan to trade the six-time Pro Bowl receiver just for the sake of it; they want to be fairly compensated.
They are looking for at least a second-round pick and do not want to take on any of Adams’ contract if they do make a trade. These high demands have led to a lack of strong interest from other teams, according to Schefter.
Schefter also mentioned that Aidan O’Connell is the starting quarterback, which might make Adams happier about staying with the team. The star receiver apparently really likes O’Connell.
“But Adams is a big believer in O’Connell and privately has called him one of the best quarterbacks with whom he has played, according to sources,” Schefter wrote.
“Playing with O’Connell is said to be appealing to Adams, who will sit out his third straight game Sunday because of a hamstring injury.” If Adams returns and O’Connell can get back into a rhythm, the Raiders might have some exciting possibilities ahead.
