Sources close to the matter have claimed that the Las Vegas Raiders have informed other NFL teams that they have no intention of trading Davante Adams before the October 31 trade deadline. The Raiders are refusing to allow him to depart even if the player himself is open to a trade.

Adams expressed his frustration with the Raiders’ offense, giving rise to speculation surrounding the player’s potential departure from Las Vegas. “If it don’t look like it’s supposed to look, then I’m going to be frustrated if I’m not a part of that plan,” Adams stated. “I have the opportunity to go and change that and make it look like a much better picture out there, and if that doesn’t happen, then I’m going to be frustrated. If Jakobi [Meyers] goes out and has a monster game or if the offense is scoring every five plays, like our first drive on the Bills, then it is what it is.”

This frustration comes after Adams signed a five-year deal with the Raiders in 2022. Since Adams’ arrival, Raiders coach Josh McDaniel had planned for him to become the centerpiece of the team’s offensive gameplan.
