Here we go again. The rumors are heating up again that Davante Adams is not happy with the Raiders. Last April, rumors surfaced he was looking to get out of Vegas, presumably to be traded after the start of the league year in March. He responded to that rumor by simply saying “If I wanted to be gone, I’d be gone.”
Now here we are less than five months later and the rumors have started up again. This time courtesy of DeSean Jackson who appeared on The Herd and said Adams told him he’s not happy.
“Me and Davante we’ve talked,” Jackson said. “I hate to do it because I don’t want to be the guy that says ‘DJax says this, and said that’, but at the end of the day he is unhappy. I mean you go from Aaron Rodgers then you come to the Las Vegas Raiders. You had not only Jimmy G and your boy Carr and it didn’t really work out.”
That was two weeks ago, and Adams has been sitting on it, not wanting to make more of a story of it than there was already. But when asked about the comments Wednesday, he didn’t hold back in his response.
“Whatever has been put out there lately is complete BS,” Adams said of the rumors he is unahppy. “I’ve never talked to Desean Jackson about one thing, . . In terms of me being upset or not being happy in this organization, it’s just a bunch of BS that’s just meant to throw everybody off and get clickbait.”
From the sounds of what DeSean Jackson said, he was getting much of his opinion on Davante’s situation from watching the Netflix show Receiver that showed Adams getting frustrated during last season with the offensive struggles in the first part of the season and his not getting the ball enough.
That, naturally, made some people wonder if Adams would want to stick around for the rebuild. Then after not getting a franchise quarterback in the draft and Davante chopping it up with his old QB Aaron Rodgers in the offseason, that could cause some speculation. But speculation and claiming to actually have spoken with someone about it are different things.
In the end, Adams just reiterated what he said back in April.
“Everybody wants to see what Davante Adams has got to say, and he’s pissed off in in Vegas,” he added. “If I was pissed off, I mean I wouldn’t be here right now.”
