Las Vegas Raiders superstar takes fans behind the scenes of Adams’ issues during recent podcast
The Las Vegas Raiders had an ugly breakup with wide receiver Davante Adams after two and a half years in Las Vegas. Adams was unhappy at the end of his tenure and forced a trade to the New York Jets, which left a bad taste in the mouths of Raider Nation.
Adams continues to discuss his former team’s situation, which keeps the topic alive even after he joined the Los Angeles Rams. It has even become a consistent question for former Raiders players.
Maxx Crosby shared his thoughts on the issue during a recent podcast interview. He believes that the departure of Derek Carr was the reason Adams demanded a trade to the Jets.
“That’s when it started with the Davante situation,” Crosby said on the Glory Daze podcast with Johnny Manziel. “Him and Derek were together at Fresno. It just seemed like it was almost too good to be true. Then the Derek situation didn’t work out. He gets benched at the end of the year. He didn’t even finish the season with Davante, and then he’s out of there. So it’s like… now what the f— is the plan? That’s his guy.”
Adams’ relationship with Carr was meant to take the offense to the next level. While Adams did finish the season with 1500 yards and 14 touchdowns, Carr’s relationship with Josh McDaniels led to him being benched after Week 16. After that Adams’ disgust for the quarterbacks that replaced him led to him constantly going viral on the Netflix show Receivers,
It is old news, and Adams is now with the Rams on a two-year deal. Hopefully, it will be the last we hear about Adams leaving.
