Raiders’ Davante Adams Frustrated by Role Despite Win Over Patriots

Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams seems to be growing increasingly frustrated with his role in the Las Vegas offense after catching just two passes in Sunday’s home win over the Patriots.

“I’m a human being, and I have extremely high standards for myself in this offense,” Adams told reporters Wednesday. “I’m sure people are thinking, ‘They won the game; why is there an issue?’ I mean, you see why it’s an issue. Y’all should know who I am, know what I’m about at this point. … When you’re a player like me, mentally, my benchmark is not wins and losses. It’s greatness. 

“So when I go out there, I expect to be able to have that ability to put that on tape and have an influence on the game. That’s my purpose for being here. I’m not here just to hang out. I came here to win and to do it the right way. So if it don’t look like it’s supposed to look, then I’m going to be frustrated if I’m not part of the plan.”
