In a recent article by The Athletic’s 32 beat writers, they were all asked to write about the best offseason move for their respective teams. For the Raiders, there were certainly several to choose from.
However, Tashan Reed went with the trade of Davante Adams, which should help make the offense elite. Here is what Reed had to say about that acquisition and why it was so important for the Raiders:
“Surprise, surprise, it’s Davante Adams. The Raiders traded their first- and second-round picks to the Packers and gave out a five-year, $140 million contract to acquire the All-Pro receiver.
He’s arguably the best wideout in the league and is in his prime at 29 years old. The Raiders have had a good offense the past couple of years, but the addition of Adams gives them the potential to have a great one.”
