Raiders’ Antonio Pierce: ‘Ask Davante’ why rift developed

dAVANTE ADAMS

Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce remained mum on the tension between the team and disgruntled star receiver Davante Adams, who requested a trade last week.

Speaking to reporters Monday after the Raiders’ 34-18 loss at the Denver Broncos the day before, Pierce was asked what he thought sparked Adams’ discontent with the team.

“I don’t know,” Pierce said. “I think you’ve got to ask Davante that.”

Adams has missed Las Vegas’ last two games due to a right hamstring injury. The 31-year-old is about fully healed, per NFL Network, but his next appearance may not come in a Raiders uniform.

ESPN reported that multiple teams are interested in potentially trading for Adams, with the New York Jets and the New Orleans Saints viewed as the favorites to acquire the six-time Pro Bowler.

Adams spent eight seasons catching passes from current Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers. He reunited with former Fresno State teammate Derek Carr last season in Las Vegas before Carr joined the Saints this year.

The Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers are also potential suitors, per ESPN.

Adams has 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown in three games with the Raiders this season. He has tallied 221 receptions for 2,869 yards and 23 scores in 37 starts across his two-plus seasons with Las Vegas.

The three-time All-Pro has compiled 890 catches for 10,990 yards and 96 touchdowns over his 11 NFL seasons. Adams’ six Pro Bowl appearances came consecutively from 2017 to 2022.

The Raiders (2-3) host the Steelers (3-2) on Sunday.
