It’s been almost two weeks since receiver Davante Adams asked the Raiders to trade him. And the Raiders have now given him a pair of $983,333 parting gifts.
That’s the amount of every game check paid to Adams by the Raiders. It’s one of the main reasons why the Raiders wanted to trade Adams within 48 hours five days ago.
They also want a second-round pick. While they wait, they continue to pay out $983,333 week after week.
Yet patience can be rewarded. An injury to a starting receiver on a contending team can change everything. And there are still four weekends of football to go until the trade deadlines arrive on November 5.
Without a sense of desperation for a team losing its WR1 and choosing not to go “next man up,” the Raiders may have to take the best deal they can get. It is unclear at this time which team will offer it.
The Jets, Saints and Steelers are reportedly still in the hunt. The bills are reportedly “supervise“the situation.
Together with the rest of us.
