There may be significant offseason changes for the Las Vegas Raiders now that they are managed by a new front staff. For starters, even though Davante Adams wants to be with the squad and play for head coach Antonio Pierce, his future with them is currently all but uncertain.
Adams committed to the Raiders for the long haul, as seen by the five-year, $140 million contract he signed in 2022. The issue is that, with Tom Telesco taking over as general manager and the team reportedly looking to start over with Pierce, trades are always an option.
With the Raiders looking to retool in the offseason, it’s not a surprise why Adams is one of their best trade assets. And it won’t be a surprise if the team puts him on the trade block considering how valuable he is.
Having said said, the Bleacher Report scouting department named him as the Raiders’ top trade piece along with the likes of wide receiver Hunter Renfrow and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
The Raiders stuck with Antonio Pierce to replace Josh McDaniels, but it still feels like a fresh start in Las Vegas. They brought in former Chargers general manager Tom Telesco to complete their leadership overhaul, and that could mean several players are on the block. Each of these three veterans were brought in by a previous regime.
Adams can still play at an elite level, but this is not what he signed up for when he got traded to the Raiders. College teammate Derek Carr is long gone, and while he might like Pierce, this is still a team with questions at quarterback. Hunter Renfrow was nearly traded at the deadline, according to reports, and Jimmy Garoppolo’s ties were to Josh McDaniels.
