There are some rivalries in the NFL that run so deep that it feels odd to see the key figures on either side of the rivalry interacting in a manner that is even remotely positive or friendly. It doesn’t always work like this, in large part because fans oftentimes care far more about these things […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are entering a new era under first-year head coach Antonio Pierce. The former interim head coach will now have a real chance to put his mark on both the roster and the whole Raiders organization. Pierce hasn’t wasted much time.

The Las Vegas Raiders have always been a hard-nosed and irreverent organization that never demonstrates any fear of its opponents.

Davante Adams remains one of the very best wide receivers in the NFL.

Will Davante Adams be traded to the New York Jets? The move has been speculated since Aaron Rodgers left the Green Bay Packers. But it will not be happening any time soon, if at all. The Las Vegas Raiders still have Adams around and he’s one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. The […]

Aaron Rodgers wants his former Green Bay Packers teammate Davante Adams on the New York Jets this season, and there is a lot of speculation that this could actually happen.

The 2023 NFL season for the Las Vegas Raiders was as tale of two halves. The season started off poorly, with the Raiders failing to field a dangerous offense and the defense doing its best to keep them in games.

Davante Adams doesn’t seem to be a happy camper in Las Vegas. After asking to be moved to the Las Vegas Raiders, the star wide receiver has been visibly frustrated.
