The Las Vegas Raiders are a storied franchise in the NFL that can’t seem to avoid drama from year to year, and this 2024 NFL season is no different, with superstar wide receiver Davante Adams wanting the team to trade him after being adamant about wanting to stay with the team during the offseason.
It seems a rift between Adams and head coach Antonio Pierce can’t be resolved, with the veteran wide receiver wanting to move on and plenty of teams around the league showing interest in his services.
With Adams wanting out of Las Vegas, there have been a few teams in the league linked to wanting to acquire the three-time All-Pro, with those teams either having ties to the veteran wideout or simply needing to upgrade the position to improve their chances of competing for a title this season.
According to The Athletic, the New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers are interested in trading for Adams.

It is no surprise that the Jets and Saints are in the mix to trade for Adams, considering the superstar’s ties to quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr.
Adams had most of his success in the NFL while catching passes from Rodgers with the Green Bay Packers, while Carr is a close friend and former teammate at the collegiate level with Fresno State and on the professional level with the Raiders.
As for the Steelers, the team has been looking for a superstar wide receiver ever since trading Antonio Brown to the Raiders years ago, so they desperately want to upgrade the position.
