Las Vegas Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams has not exactly been shy about his criticism of the team, especially in his desire to see more targets and touches in the offense. But apparently, that doesn’t mean he’s unhappy with being on the team or that he has any regrets about coming to Vegas.
During a recent interview with Rich Eisen, Davante Adams made a pretty bold announcement, making it clear that he is “100 percent” happy to be a member of the Las Vegas Raiders despite his often outspoken criticism.
“I am happy to be a Raider, 100 percent,” Adams said. “This was my choice and this is something that I’m standing by, I want to continue to work at, to make it what it’s supposed to be. I’m not happy at every moment with the way things go, but I’m definitely proud to wear this uniform.”
Adams went on to express that he has no regrets about his decision to join the Raiders even despite the departure of quarterback Derek Carr following last season.
“No regrets at the end of the day,” Adams said. “If we lost every game I wouldn’t say I regret my decision because in life you drive yourself crazy if you live that way.”
He made it stance very clear ahead of the NFL trade deadline, saying “I’m not looking for a new home,” and the NFL world had a lot to say about the announcement on social media.

Is there language in NFL contracts that allows the team to void guaranteed money if a player speaks out against the team? I’m just curious.

We’ll have to see how the rest of the season goes for Adams in Vegas.
