The Las Vegas Raiders find themselves in a rather concerning situation as they prepare for the 2023 NFL season as star running back Josh Jacobs is not with the team as he continues to seek a new contract with more compensation. And it’s clear that star wide receiver Davante Adams is not happy about the situation.
During a recent interview with Bridget Condon and David Shaw on the NFL Network, Davante Adams voiced his frustrations with the absence of Josh Jacobs as the team tries to prepare for the upcoming season.
“Not having him right now is obviously something that I’m not happy with…he played like the best back in the league last year, which if you ask me he is the best back in the league.”
UPDATE: Davante Adams is not happy that Josh Jacobs isn’t with the team right now, he told @nflnetwork

It’s a pretty clear message from Adams, and the NFL world had plenty to say about it on social media as a result.
Prepare yourselves: a second round of “Davante Adams ‘rumored’ to want out of Las Vegas” by these pages is upon us. https://t.co/MrzPQpGlWQ

This isn’t exactly breaking news. Every Raider is not happy he’s not there. Everyone wants him there. https://t.co/or0t0Zigfg

It’s safe to say that things have not really gone his way since he left the Packers and joined the Raiders, and he’s been pretty blunt about his frustrations regarding the whole situation.
We’ll have to see if the team and Jacobs are able to work out a deal that will get the star running back on the field. If not, Adams is going to be even more frustrated.
