The Las Vegas Raiders have had a rough couple of seasons since they traded for All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams.
Despite Adams turning in a couple of 100-catch seasons, the team has failed to obtain a winning record in both 2022 and 2023.
Former NFL player and CBS Sports analyst Ryan Harris believes Adams might not want to waste his prime years without quality quarterback play.
“I would be shocked if Davante Adams was on the Raiders roster by the trade deadline come this season,” Harris recently said on CBS Sports HQ.

With all of the rumors circulating the air about Adams wanting to play with his old quarterback Aaron Rodgers again, this could be a topic of discussion all season long.
Adams caught passes from Rodgers for eight years in Green Bay (2014-2021).
He became an All-Pro player thanks in large part to Rodgers, who won three of his four career MVPs with the former Fresno State star in the fold.
If the New York Jets were to consider trading for the six-time Pro Bowl receiver, they would possibly have to give up an awful lot, especially with Adams only being in the third year of his five-year contract.
Draft capital and multiple players would most likely need to be involved if the Jets desperately wanted to acquire Adams.
Adding him to a group that includes Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams could make the Jets’ wide receiver core the best in the league.
With Breece Hall in the backfield and the elite defensive players on the other side of the ball, a trade for Adams could put this team over the top.
