After an earlier report that the Las Vegas Raiders were open to the idea of trading Davante Adams, the wide receiver has informed the team that he preferred to be traded, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
“There is nothing imminent, but a situation to watch for sure,” Rapoport tweeted on X, formerly Twitter.
“The Raiders are trying to win games and there are plenty of scenarios where Davante Adams stays in Las Vegas. But there are also scenarios where he’s headed elsewhere. And he’ll have a market,” Rapoport continued.
There had been rumors before the start of the season that Adams could be a trade candidate at the deadline, and it's quite he'll be on a new team before then.
The Raiders are open to trading Davante Adams
The Las Vegas Raiders seemed to be open to trading Davante Adams, according to reporter Vincent Bonsignore.
“More on this to come: A league source with knowledge of the situation confirmed that the Raiders are growing open to the idea of trading Davante Adams. The source said the club has begun reaching out to teams to gauge interest in the veteran wide receiver,” Bonsignore said on X, formerly Twitter.
Adams was asked during an appearance on the Up & Adams Show about his name coming up in trade rumors.
“It gets annoying for sure,” Adams said. “I'm one of those players people like to talk about one way or the other. So, thank God that he just blessed me with the ability to just focus in on what I need to focus in on and not get sidetracked by any of the outside noise.”
It will be interesting to see what teams are willing to trade for Adams, and there's no doubt he can make a big impact wherever he lands next.
