Forward of the 2022 NFL season, the Raiders made a commerce with the Inexperienced Bay Packers to accumulate WR Davante Adams. The three-time All-Professional was a second-round draft choose by the Packers in 2014. Adams’ most efficient seasons had been with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. He completed with 669 receptions for 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns in Inexperienced Bay. In his first season with the Raiders, Adams had a dominant yr. The six-time Professional Bowler had 100 catches for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2022. That was with Raiders former QB Derek Carr who’s now with the Saints.
Regardless of having three extra catches in 2023 than he did in 2022, Adams’ manufacturing slipped elsewhere. That’s largely as a result of QB scenario the Raiders had been coping with in 2023. Jimmy Garoppolo, Brian Hoyer, and Aidan O’Connell all made begins for the Raiders final season. In 2024, O’Connell continues to be with the group however Las Vegas introduced in free agent Gardner Minshew as effectively. He was named the starter by Anontio Pierce. That’s a part of the rationale why DeSean Jackson claimed that Adams was “sad” in Las Vegas. The Raiders do have a shaky QB scenario heading into 2024. Minshew does have beginning expertise however he’s not one of many prime QBs within the league. Can Minshew preserve Davante Adams comfortable this season and dispel the narrative that the star WR desires to depart the Raiders?
