The Las Vegas Raiders are in the market for a quarterback who can get their star player, Davante Adams, the ball when he needs it. Many people, including me, think he's the best receiver in the league, but he wasn't quite able to show it last season in a very bad offense with subpar or worse quarterback play.
Last season, he voiced his concerns about the offense and his role in the offense several times. He was unhappy at all, which led to many speculating whether he wanted to be in Las Vegas. Obviously, nothing happened with those speculations, but you do not want that to be something that happens in 2025. So, they have to get this offseason right, and that starts with not only getting a quarterback but mailing Adams happy.
There is one thing they can do almost to guarantee both the future success of the offense and keep Adams happy, but it won't be easy. He and the rest of the Raiders clearly want Jayden Daniels on their team. Antonio Pierce knows Daniels well and has known Daniels since he was 14.
The only thing about that is how hard it will be for the Raiders to get Daniels. He is a projected top-three pick, and the Raiders sit at pick No. 13 in the 2024 NFL Draft. If they want to trade up, they will have to give up quite a bit. It's possible but difficult.
We know that the Raiders may be willing to do it, though, especially if a guy like Davante Adams asks them to. Lately, Adams has been supporting Daniels from afar on Instagram.
Daniels posted a quote and a picture of himself with his Heisman Trophy. Adams reposted it in his story and added the 100 emoji. This doesn't mean anything, but it's pretty clear he likes Daniels and supports the kid.
