| Home / College Guide / Davante Adams Committed To Raiders, Discusses Aaron Rodgers Pairing |
| Posted on Wednesday, July 10 @ 00:00:09 PDT |
Things haven’t necessarily gone as planned for [Davante Adams](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AdamDa01.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2024-07-09_pfr) in Las Vegas. The wideout pushed his way out of Green Bay and landed with the Raiders and his college QB, [Derek Carr](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CarrDe02.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2024-07-09_pfr). That QB/WR tandem only lasted one season, with the Josh McDaniels–Dave Ziegler regime shaking up the quarterback position ahead of the 2023 campaign. [[](https://cdn.profootballrumors.com/files/2022/10/USATSI_19137085.jpg) [RELATED: Offseason In Review: Las Vegas Raiders](https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/07/offseason-in-review-las-vegas-raiders-3)] Adams hinted at some frustration before the Raiders ditched that head coach/GM duo, but the receiver admitted that interim-turned-full-time head coach Antonio Pierce is a big reason why he’s content ahead of the 2024 season. “I wouldn’t be feeling as good as I do now,” Adams said of Pierce’s promotion during an appearance on “Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams” ( [via NFL.
com’s Nick Shook](https://www.nfl.com/news/davante-adams-satisfied-entering-2024-with-hc-antonio-pierce-leading-raiders)). “That’s for sure. He’s the type of guy that I really enjoy speaking to, working with, so I basically tried to do everything that I could to make it to where the front office didn’t have any other choice.” Pierce guided the Raiders to a 5-4 record after McDaniels was canned, a performance that helped earn him a promotion to the full-time gig. [While there’s still uncertainty at the quarterback position](https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/07/poll-who-will-win-raiders-qb-competition), Adams is committed to the Raiders…and he’s denying inquiries from some of his former teammates. Specifically, Adams admitted that [Aaron Rodgers](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RodgAa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2024-07-09_pfr) has been “in that ear” since the quarterback moved to the Jets. “It’s not as easy as — obviously we can get together and talk about the old times and potential of doing this and that, but like I said I’m a Raider, and he knows that,” Adams said. “Maybe in the next lifetime.
” Adams also said he’s heard from former teammate [Josh Jacobs](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JacoJo01.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2024-07-09_pfr), who joined the wideout’s former squad in Green Bay this offseason. “I told him you go ahead and hold it down,” Adams said. “I’m gonna hold it down over here. I don’t think I’ll be coming back over there. Never know what’s gonna happen. If they ship me off, there’s not much I can do about it, but I’m a Raider. So nobody got to worry about that.” Despite the management changes, the Raiders [quickly quieted trade chatter](https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/02/raiders-not-planning-to-trade-davante-adams) this offseason, with both Pierce and new GM Tom Telesco ( [along with owner Mark Davis](https://www.profootballrumors.com/2024/04/mark-davis-prefers-to-pair-davante-adams-with-next-raiders-qb)) expressing interest in keeping Adams around long-term. The wideout is attached to massive $44MM cap hits in both 2025 and 2026, but the Raiders could get out of the deal next offseason with only a temporary dead cap hit of $15.7MM. While both sides are currently saying all the right things, Adams’ future in Las Vegas will still be worth watching over the next year.
