Robert Griffin III wants the Chiefs to trade for Raiders WR Davante Adams

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams could be wearing a different jersey sooner rather than later.

Shortly after NFL Network reported Tuesday that Adams told the Raiders he would prefer to be traded, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III suggested the move he would like to see — a blockbuster, involving trade the Kansas City Chiefs.

“I know Davante Adams and (New York Jets quarterback) Aaron Rodgers are like peanut butter and jelly,” Griffin continued. “A perfect game. But going from the Raiders to the Jets would be trading dysfunction for dysfunction. The Chiefs offer an opportunity to make history and be part of the first three-peat ever. Teams have made trades to their division rival before.” If the Raiders are only interested in compensation for him, the Chiefs should look to join the Adams family.

Adams, a six-time Pro Bowl receiver and three-time All-Pro, turns 32 in December. He’s still an elite option in the passing game, as in the Raiders’ first three games this season he recorded 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown while catching passes from quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Adams would have an interesting role in Kansas City. Although the Chiefs were 0-4, they could use some help in the passing game – especially with top wideout Rashee Rice sidelined with a knee injury in Kansas City’s 17-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Through four weeks, the Chiefs rank 11th in passing yards per game (215.8) and 14th in points per game (23.0). Wide receiver Xavier Worthy has been a spark plug for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, averaging 17.1 yards per reception and 13.8 yards per touch, but the Chiefs could use another reliable pass catcher to fill the void left by the injured Rice.

Maybe Adams is the answer.
