The agents for Davante Adams issued a statement on Tuesday in response to trade rumors involving their client.

Adams’ agents shut down trade talks for now and said he is expected to be with the Raiders.

“This is baseless, unfounded speculation and Davante is expected to be with the Raiders as there has been absolutely no trade talk — period,” the agents said via ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

What are the trade rumors surrounding Adams? They all concern the Raiders’ lack of a franchise quarterback.

Adams seemed to regret forcing his way to the Raiders in May after the franchise moved on from QB Derek Carr. Then, Jets' Aaron Rodgers got things buzzing with comments about potentially teaming with Adams.

Additionally, some comments Adams made in the Netflix show “Receiver” made it clear that he does not like having a "bad" quarterback. That has led many people to speculate that he could want to move to a team with a better QB.

Despite some of the buzz, Adams’ agents have shut down the trade rumors, and Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vincent Bonsignore agreed the trade talks make no sense.

All this stuff about the @Raiders trading Davante Adams is nonsense. On top of everything else, it makes zero sense to trade him now.
