The All-Pro Las Vegas Raiders Tuesday morning, Davante Adams took questions regarding his head coach Antonio Pierce’s seeming public endorsement of his trade. Adams informed the Raiders that he would rather be traded a few hours later, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Meanwhile, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal stated that the Raiders are “reaching out to clubs to assess interest in the veteran wide receiver” and that they are “becoming receptive to the idea” of selling Adams. The Raiders would consider moving Adams for a deal that includes a second-round selection and other compensation, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
All of this came to light following Pierce’s online reaction on Monday to an Instagram post from Sports Illustrated suggesting that Adams might have played his final snap with the Raiders.
Adams’ hamstring injury prevented him from playing in Sunday’s victory over the Cleveland Browns. He participated in an interview with Kay Adams for her “Up & Adams” program on Tuesday. Of course, they talked about Pierce’s Instagram posts.
Kay Adams questioned him about “how soon” he heard from Pierce following the revelation of Pierce’s Instagram like. Adams stated that he had not heard from his head coach at the time of the interview.
Adams remarked, “I haven’t heard from him.” “I haven’t spoken with him yet. I’m not really sure what the exact topic of that was.
Because social media is such a beast, many people have seen it and are curious about what’s going on, leading them to contact out. True enough, I haven’t talked to him.”
After expressing shock at not hearing from Pierce, Kay Adams enquired as to whether Adams would actually like to hear from Pierce.
“To be honest, it’s difficult to remark on,” Adams said. This is one of those instances where I just keep working hard, get on with what I’m doing, and let the results speak for themselves.
Since then, there has been no communication with any member of the team. It resembles the weekly “what’s up with Te” stuff in certain ways. Drama of some type is always present. One seven doesn’t, in the end, create any of it. Thus, everyone can say whatever they choose. I’m just relaxing and attempting to set an example by not stirring the pot. Simply focusing and carrying out my necessary tasks.”

Drama in Las Vegas continues
After just four weeks, the Raiders season is already entangled in controversy, and this one is just getting started. Pierce, who is in his second season as the Raiders head coach and his first as a full-time employee, has been a major player in the drama.
next a humiliating loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 3, Pierce blasted players for their “business decisions” in a cryptic manner. The next day, he reiterated same remarks. During such press conferences, Pierce mostly avoided accepting responsibility for his team’s subpar play.
He did apologize for his “business judgments” comments after Sunday’s triumph against the Browns.
According to ESPN, Pierce stated, “Probably started with me, with my statements, and I apologize for that.” “We just went to work every single day. I don’t mean to be a distraction in that sense. Things came to light during the course of the week, and the guys simply never winced or blinked.”
On social media, Pierce now seems to be letting go of his finest offensive player while saying nothing else about it.
