The Davante Adams era of the Las Vegas Raiders looks like its about to come to an end, with the wide receiver letting it be known that he would prefer to be traded rather than stay with the franchise any longer.
Adams addressed trade rumors throughout the entire NFL offseason, with chatter swirling constantly about the Raiders and the possibility of them parting with the All-Pro, who denied he had any desire to leave the team.
That stance has clearly changed, and now the Raiders reportedly have let the rest of the NFL know that Adams is available via trade, and there is expected to be no shortage of interest.
One Super Bowl contender that desperately needs some help at wide receiver is the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs.
FOX Sports host Nick Wright said he doesn’t think the Chiefs, despite their injuries at the position, are interested in Adams right now, or that the Raiders would trade him to an AFC West rival.
“I think the Chiefs are not in as much of a rush as everyone else thinks they should be, and I think the Raiders don’t want to trade with Kansas City,” Wright said on “First Things First.”

Usually, teams within the same division in any professional sport don’t make significant trades with one another, and that could be the scenario here, as it is more likely the Raiders will send Adams out of their conference, perhaps to the New Orleans Saints or Washington Commanders.
However, a possible AFC destination for Adams could be the New York Jets, where he’d be able to reunite with Aaron Rodgers.
