Are the Las Vegas Raiders about to trade Davante Adams? According to one NFL expert, they just might.
Dan Graziano of ESPN predicts that the Raiders may be looking to trade Adams before the trade deadline.
“I’m not saying they’ll trade him. I don’t know if they’d even consider it,” he said. “But the Raiders are likely going to be terrible this season, and Adams went there to play with a quarterback who got benched before Adams’ first season with the team ended and is now in New Orleans.”
“If he doesn’t believe he fits in the Jimmy Garoppolo-led offense, and if the Raiders’ season gets off to a bad start, Adams could absolutely start making noise about wanting out. And coach Josh McDaniels has never been shy about trading away players he doesn’t believe fit his program.”
It would be a shocker if the Raiders actually pull the trigger and trade Adams, especially after investing in Garoppolo at quarterback.
It’s not like they haven’t taken chances like this before. The Raiders did trade Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears several years ago under head coach Jon Gruden.
But the likelihood of the Raiders trading Adams, unless they get something big out of it, is slim.
