Star wide receiver\u00a0Davante Adams\u00a0has\u00a0requested a trade\u00a0and it appears the team could be willing to grant his request.<\/p>\n<p>There should be no shortage of teams around the NFL that are interested in Adams but according to an\u00a0October 1 X post\u00a0from ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, the Raiders are looking for a second-round pick and more. That asking price will only be palatable to contending teams.<\/p>\n<p>Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report pitched a trade that would send Adams to the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0for quarterback\u00a0Trey Lance and a conditional second-round pick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this hypothetical scenario, the threshold for flipping a conditional second-round pick into a first might be high,\u201d Ballentine wrote in an\u00a0October 1 column. \u201cDallas has shown that it can get to the playoffs. Winning multiple postseason games is now the goal\u2014making an appearance in the NFC title game a sensible condition for the first-round pivot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo sweeten the deal, Dallas could include third-string quarterback Trey Lance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the Raiders, the Cowboys make sense as a trade partner as they\u2019d get Adams out of the AFC. Lance doesn\u2019t sweeten the pot much as he still hasn\u2019t shown he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL.<\/p>\n<h2>Will Raiders Actually Trade Davante Adams?<\/h2>\n<p>At this point, there\u2019s really no reason for the Raiders to keep Adams. Even if they can earn a wild card playoff spot, they aren\u2019t competing for a Super Bowl with\u00a0Gardner Minshew\u00a0at quarterback. Adams\u2019 salary cap hit jumps to\u00a0$44.1 million\u00a0next season so the Raiders were likely going to move on from him after the season.<\/p>\n<p>If they were to trade him in the offseason, his value would likely be lower. In fact, the longer the team waits, the lower his value will be. The Raiders should be highly motivated to get a deal done quickly. They don\u2019t need Adams to be a distraction. He\u2019s a very good player who has broken 1,000 receiving yards for the team in back-to-back seasons but a young rebuilding team doesn\u2019t have a need for a wide receiver who will be 32 in December.<\/p>\n<h2>A Failed Experiment<\/h2>\n<p>When the Raiders traded for Adams during the 2022 offseason, they were coming off a playoff berth and had just hired Josh McDaniels as head coach. Quarterback\u00a0Derek Carr\u00a0was coming off a strong season and the hope was that reuniting him with Adams would be a recipe for success.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t the case. The Raiders won six games in Adams\u2019 first season and the team decided to release Carr. They decided to sign\u00a0Jimmy Garoppolo to be the starting quarterback, which turned out to be a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas could only muster eight wins last season. This season hasn\u2019t gone much better as the team is 2-2 and was recently blown out by the\u00a0Carolina Panthers. Adams didn\u2019t suit up against the Browns in Week 4 and the Raiders won, which shows they don\u2019t need the wide receiver to win. This was a failed experiment from the beginning and it\u2019s best for the Raiders to cut their losses right now.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams.
