Attention, any National Football League GM thinking of inquiring about the availability of 3-time 1st-team All-Pro receiver Davante Adams: “He’s a Raider,” new Las Vegas Raiders GM Tom Telesco shared today.
With that statement, the general manager essentially shut down the prospect of exchange discussions for the 6th-time Pro Bowler.

Davante himself wants to remain with the team as the wide receiver admitted during Super Bowl week in Las Vegas it was “fantastic” to work again with new Las Vegas OC Luke Getsy, with whom he broke into the league in 2014 with the Packers.
“Getsy is the type of coach that’s open-minded … Luke is going to be open to discuss with the veteran players that know and have experience and how we think we can be most helpful to the team,” claimed Adams, who had 103 receptions in the past campaign but his lowest receiving yards per catch average (11.1) in the last 9 years, and his fewest touchdown catches (8) since 2019, when the WR appeared in 12 matches.
