Raiders’ Davante Adams Reacts To DeSean Jackson ‘Unhappy’ Comment

Over the past few months, there have been many rumors about superstar wide receiver Davante Adams and his immediate future with the Las Vegas Raiders. Some believe he could be traded during the 2024 NFL season if things don’t go well for the storied franchise.

Along with the Raiders potentially trading him if the team doesn’t get off to a great start to the 2024 campaign, there’s been talk of Adams being unhappy with his situation in Las Vegas and wanting out. Adams has refuted that notion many times, but things got reignited when former Raiders wide receiver DeSean Jackson chimed in recently on The Herd with Colin Cowherd.

Jackson claimed that he’d heard that Adams was not happy in Las Vegas, which essentially restarted this narrative. The Raiders and their superstar had seemingly moved on from all of this, but now it will be a constant distraction unless the team starts winning.

During a press conference ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, Adams wasn’t thrilled with Jackson’s comments via Paul Guiterrez of ESPN.

“At the end of the day, the facts are the facts and that is not a fact,” Adams said.

“I’ve probably spoken to DeSean Jackson maybe three or four times in my life, and I never had a conversation with him [about this], ever. And I put that on my kids. I’ve never spoken to him about anything.”

Along with shooting down Jackson’s comments about his situation in Las Vegas, Adams admitted that his wife is the only one he tells things about what he is dealing with in his NFL career.

“And she ain’t out there leaking anything, and dropping stuff like that in the media.

“If it ain’t from the horse’s mouth, it’s probably bulls—.”

With Adams dispelling the notion that he’s unhappy in Las Vegas once again, it’ll be interesting to see if this pops up again at some point during the 2024 NFL season, with many not expecting much from the Raiders this year.

Only time will tell what is in store for Adams and the Raiders as they head into a season filled with uncertainty.

Antonio Pierce Makes Telling Statement About the Raiders’ Offense 

The Las Vegas Raiders are starting fresh at the quarterback position again this year, with the team recently making veteran journeyman Gardner Minshew the new starter under center, with Aidan O’Connell set to be his backup.

With the offense not exactly impressing him during training camp and throughout the preseason, head coach Antonio Pierce doesn’t think the offense will be turning a lot of heads this season, which is concerning.
