In a fluid and unpredictable situation that seems to change weekly, Davante Adams could wind up staying with the Las Vegas Raiders rather than being traded, league sources told ESPN.
Adams has received interest from other teams, but as one source told ESPN, it is not “phone-is-ringing-off-the-hook interest” for the six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver.
That lack of high-level interest has more to do with the Raiders’ asking price — a second-round draft pick and additional compensation — along with the fact Las Vegas has said it doesn’t want to pay any of the money left on Adams’ contract.
The Raiders also have been adamant they won’t simply trade Adams for the sake of trading him; they are content to hold onto the three-time All-Pro if their conditions are not satisfied.
The Raiders have been and will continue talking to the New York Jets , and sources told ESPN they also are expected to talk Saturday with the Pittsburgh Steelers , who are in Las Vegas for Sunday’s game. Other teams such as the Buffalo Bills and New Orleans Saints have also checked in on Adams’ availability.
