Davante Adams may have some added motivation when his Las Vegas Raiders take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season, but not because of anything Chargers players have said or done.
Adams, during an appearance on sportscaster Kay Adams' show Up & Adams, expressed his displeasure with the Chargers social media team's depiction of himself in a schedule release video posted onto the team's account on X, formerly Twitter, back in May.
The post featured a picture of Adams next to a box of "Garbage" Pop Tarts, something the Raiders receiver didn't take kindly to.

"Keep my name out your mouth." 👀🌶️@tae15adams in his last four games vs. LAC:
494 REC YARDS, 4 TD 😤 @heykayadams we can't WAIT for Week 1 🍿 pic.twitter.com/MdItEcpOYK
"I thought about responding on social media to it, being funny there, but I figured it would be better to just beat their head in real life," Adams said. "I just wanted to kind of remind them what they've been going through as it pertains to playing against me."
Adams has racked up 494 receiving yards and four touchdowns in his last four games played against the Chargers. But the Raiders wideout made it clear that he doesn't have any problems with players on the Chargers—just the social media team, whom he sent a stern warning to.
"Hopefully, the people that made that post — because it's not the players' fault," Adams said. "They didn't have anything to do with the post. This is directed strictly toward the Chargers' social media page: Please keep my name out your mouth and show some respect."
Adams' Raiders got the last laugh in the most recent contest against Los Angeles, winning 63-21 while setting a franchise scoring record in the process.
