Davante Adams puts Raiders on blast with minicamp comments

Needless to say, bad blood exists between the Las Vegas Raiders and former wide receiver Davante Adams.

Acquired by the Raiders for a first and second round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and immediately locked up with a five-year, $140 million deal, Adams was presented to fans as the top wide receiver the team needed to succeed. He put together a first-team All-Pro campaign in 2022, but the relationship between player and team unraveled quickly after the release of Adams’s former teammate Derek Carr in 2023. It lead to Adams publicly requesting a trade, which he was granted when he was picked up by the New York Jets in October for a third-round pick.

Since the trade, Adams has buried the Raiders at every opportunity, and his move back west did little to change his tune.

Adams continues his disparagement of the Raiders with his latest comments.

Now with the Los Angeles Rams after being released by the Jets this offseason, Adams took the time during mandatory minicamp to take another thinly-veiled jab at his former team.

“Everybody’s in a good mood (in Los Angeles). It’s not like a dark cloud over the building. And I’ve experienced that quite a bit over the last few years,” Adams said. “So, it’s a glaring difference when you come into a building like this.”
