Tuesday morning, Davante Adams made one of his regular appearances on Up and Adam with Kay Adams in which the host asked Davante about his thoughts on his head coach Antonio Pierce supposedly liking a post on social media that had trade speculation involving the All Pro receiver.
Adams said Pierce hadn’t even talked with him since that occurred.

That in and of itself isn’t proof something is happening on the trade front. People ‘like’ posts for any number of reasons.
But these happenings have turned smoke into what appears to be fire with a recent report by Vinny Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review Journal who says the Raiders are actively seeking a trade partner for Adams.
More on this to come: A league source with knowledge of the situation confirmed that the @Raiders are growing open to the idea of trading Davante Adams. The source said the club has begun reaching out to teams to gauge interest in the veteran wide receiver.

Adams was a surprise scratch last week after a sudden hamstring issue in practice during the week had him OUT on the Official injury report. He was seen on the sideline during the game supporting his teammates and in the locker room afterward as the team celebrated their win over the Browns.
