It seems that Davante Adams might be open to playing for quarterbacks other than Derrek Carr and Aaron Rodgers!
The 31-year-old Raiders receiver was rumored to be open to playing for clubs other than New York and New Orleans, even if the Saints and Jets were his preferred destinations. Ian Rapoport stated that the Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the teams he was open to joining.
Adams reportedly asked the Los Vegas Raiders for a trade on Tuesday. The Raiders released the ideal trade package for what it would take to get their top player—a second-round draft selection and “other compensation”—while they are still debating whether to keep Adams around.
Davante Adams of the Raiders wants to play for the Jets, according to sources.
The All-Pro, though, is willing to play for other teams and hasn’t made any demands on where he is transferred. LV will accept the optimal offer.
Should Pittsburgh make the move to acquire an elderly but still talented playmaker and send the house down?After all, Adams is arguably still the finest wide receiver in the NFL right now, despite turning 32 in December.
The Davante Adams sweepstakes is still rather unpredictable, and it doesn’t appear like Pittsburgh will sign the all-star wide receiver anytime soon unless certain queries regarding his requirements and desires are addressed.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Insider and Steelers reporter Gerry Dulac said on Sunday afternoon that although the Steelers have inquired about trading for the All-Pro 31-year-old wide out, some aspects of the trade conversation are impeding the process.
What aspects might fans inquire about? Nothing major, really—only if he would consent to travel to Pittsburgh at all. Not only that, but if the trade goes through, Adams’ contract might need to be restructured by Pittsburgh.
Adam’s response to Pittsburgh’s query may or may not change the Steelers’ whole strategy to bring more talent to the wide receiver position.
Adams, a star player for the Raiders who would welcome a contract reduction from Pittsburgh, would rather play with his former quarterbacks on the New York Jets or New Orleans Saints?
