Las Vegas Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams has requested a trade from the team, according to multiple media outlets, first reported by NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo and ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Adams reportedly told the team on Monday that he would prefer to be substituted. According to Schefter, the Raiders would “consider” a package for Adams that includes a second-round draft pick and additional compensation.

CNN has reached out to the Raiders for comment.

Asked if he had played his final game for the Raiders during his regular appearance on the “Up & Adams” show Tuesday, Adams said, “All I can control is this conversation we’re having here.”

“When we’re done with this, the only thing I can control is what I do next. I’m about to get up and get a nice workout in and that’s all I can control.”

Rumors of an Adams move began circulating on Monday when Las Vegas head coach Antonio Pierce’s official Instagram account liked a Sports Illustrated post that hypothesized whether Adams had already played his final game played for the team. The same was later removed.

Adams said Tuesday that he had not yet spoken to his head coach: “I haven’t heard from him. I haven’t spoken to him. So I don’t know exactly what it’s about.

“Social media is a beast. A lot of people out there have seen it and are wondering what’s going on (and) people are coming forward.”

According to the NFL, Adams is guaranteed a salary of $16.8 million this season and has two years remaining on his contract. He is owed $35.6 million in 2025 and $36.6 million in 2026, which is not guaranteed.

Adams, 31, is still one of the best at his position in the league and will likely have plenty of suitors.

He missed the Raiders’ Week 4 home win over the Cleveland Browns due to a hamstring injury. In three games this year, Adams has 18 catches for 209 yards and a touchdown.

He is coming off his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season. Adams was traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Raiders in 2022 for a first and second round draft pick.

Since being drafted by Fresno State in 2014, Adams has totaled 10,990 receiving yards and 96 touchdowns in his 11 seasons in the NFL. He was named first-team All-Pro three times, a Pro Bowler six times and was the NFL leader in touchdowns in 2020 and 2022.
