Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams has been close friends with quarterback Derek Carr since the two played together at Fresno State, and Adams was keen to play with Carr in Las Vegas. So it’s no surprise that Adams is unhappy about Carr’s bench press and Carr’s likely departure this offseason.
Adams wrote on Instagram that Carr was the only reason he wanted the Packers to trade him for the Raiders.
“This man gave everything he had. The reason I’m a raider,” Adams wrote. “One of the most disciplined and loving people I know. I got my brothers back through whatever.”
Adams added a middle finger emoji, which he said is aimed at anyone who “can’t respect it.”
That raises the question of whether Adams’ final season will be back in Las Vegas. When the Raiders acted for him and signed him to a lucrative contract extension, there seemed little doubt that they had a long-term investment in him. But if Adams doesn’t want to be there without Carr and the Raiders now see themselves in a new direction with a new franchise quarterback, Adams could be on the verge of being traded for the second straight offseason.
