A new trade rumor involving Davante Adams highlights the Las Vegas Raiders’ increasing desperation.
Adams, who has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the team’s performance and leadership, has reportedly requested a trade.
The Raiders are looking for significant compensation, ideally a second-round pick, but some teams are hesitant given the need to restructure his contract and absorb a high salary.
This has created challenges in finding a trade partner, as teams are pushing for lower compensation or expecting the Raiders to cover part of Adams’ 2024 salary.
Teams like the Jets, Commanders, and others have shown interest, but there’s hesitation due to Adams’ age and hefty contract.
As the trade deadline approaches, it remains to be seen whether the Raiders can find a suitable deal to move their star receiver.
