The Raiders are struggling to compete in the AFC. They made a significant change by cutting Derek Carr and signing Jimmy Garoppolo, which of course will have a huge impact in their wide receivers.
Davante Adams is their main receiver, and the former Packers players is not completely happy with how things are working at Las Vegas. He recently threw shade to HC Josh McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler by saying that he was not on their same page.
According to reports, Adams really wanted the team to trade for Aaron Rodgers in order to play once again alongside the Super Bowl XLV champion. However, they went for a cheaper option by signing Jimmy Garoppolo, who was a free agent.
“At the end of the day, like I said a couple times now, I’m ecstatic to get to work with the new guys,” Adams said. “Jimmy (Garoppolo) is a great guy. Love him to death. I didn’t know him very well before he got here, but getting to work together a little bit, being around each other, getting to know him, he’s a great guy. Definitely excited about getting to work with him and everybody else that’s in here.
