Davante Adams: Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver reportedly asking for trade after Antonio Pierce’s Instagram situation | NFL News

A blockbuster trade could be on the horizon in the NFL after Davante Adams informed the Las Vegas Raiders of his preference to move on before the league’s Nov. 5 trade deadline.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo were the first to report the news Tuesday, with Adams subject to trade speculation since last season.

It comes after the emergence of a screenshot that showed Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce “liking” an Instagram post that read, “Don’t be surprised if Davante Adams has already played his last snap with the Raiders.”

Adams, who missed the week four win over the Cleveland Browns with a hamstring injury, spoke about the screenshot Tuesday during his weekly appearance on Kay Adams’ “Up & Adams Show.”

“I haven’t heard from Antonio Pierce. I haven’t spoken to him,” Adams said. “I don’t know exactly what that was about. It’s one of those situations where I just keep my head down and keep doing my thing and let the chips fall where they may.

“There hasn’t been any communication with anyone on the team since that became a thing, but it’s kind of like the weekly ‘What’s going on with Tae?’ It’s always some kind of drama. But in the end, 17 doesn’t create any of it.

“So people can say whatever they want, but I’m just chilling and trying to be the model of not stirring the pot and just locking up and doing what I gotta do.”
