This is getting weird. The Las Vegas Raiders just cannot stay out of drama. They couldn't last year when Josh McDaniels was on the hot seat, and even after he was fired and Antonio Pierce took over, there was still drama. And, for some reason, the drama is always about Davante Adams or the coaches.
This time it's both.
The coaching as a whole hasn't been great this season, and I'm not sure many people would argue against that statement. And, tensions are getting high, even after a win over the Cleveland Browns.
The loss to the Carolina Panthers hurt this team and set them back after a huge win over the Baltimore Ravens, which boosted morale. So we thought.
Now, it feels like the whole world is crashing down for them after a very good win. And, to make matters worse, Antonio Pierce, the Raiders head coach, is not helping with the drama by his social media antics.
Recently, it was seen that Antonio Pierce liked a post on Instagram insinuating that Davante Adams would soon be traded. That comes off as something very weird, especially for a head coach. And, what's even more weird, is that Pierce hasn't talked to Adams about it at all, or about anything.

Davante Adams goes on the Up and Adams show every Tuesday, and he broke the silence on the weird situation this Tuesday.
"I haven't heard from him (Pierce)... I don't really know exactly what that's all about," Adams said.
He was then asked if he believed he had played his last down as a Raider.
"All I can control is the next thing I'm on to."
The Athletic reported that they tried to reach out to the team, but, a team spokesperson declined to comment.
This is getting weird, and now there are reports that the Raiders are fielding calls for Adams. Only time will tell what will happen.
