Yes, Davante Adams has probably played his last game as a Raider.

Adams informed the Raiders via NFL Media he would like to be traded.

That became clear on Sunday, when a report emerged that Adams “week-to-weekwith a hamstring injury that occurred during training last Thursday. Considering the Raiders had just lost to the Panthers and in light of his exorbitant 2025 salary, moving Adams is the best move.

Because they would cut him after the season, before his $35.64 million salary hit the books, they wouldn’t get a compensatory draft pick if he signs elsewhere. The only way to get compensation is to trade him before the deadline, which is five weeks away.

This seemed inevitable to everyone watching the film Recipient series. Adams was irritated last season. Our guess is that new coach Antonio Pierce has persuaded Adams to give the organization a chance.fresh slate” for 2024, with the understanding that if/when things go sideways, Adams will be sent to a new team if he so chooses.

He wants now.

That’s the next step, unless of course the Raiders heat up and become real contenders in the next five weeks. They will likely have to make do without Adams, whose weekly soft tissue injury likely won’t heal sufficiently until the week he lands with a new team.
