The news of Davante Adams‘ request to leave the Las Vegas Raiders shook the NFL world this week. One of the key figures regarding the situation on the field is clearly head coach Antonio Pierce, who made his stance clear during his traditional press conference.
During the Raiders’ traditional Wednesday press conference, the coach was asked if Adams’ situation could become a distraction for his team’s present. The head coach responded firmly, ‘No.’
According to The Athletic’s journalist Vic Tafur on his X account (formerly Twitter), Pierce was clear about the situation: “Antonio Pierce not addressing the Davante Adams situation, said he is rehabbing his hamstring injury.”
The Raiders are one of many teams with a balanced record of two wins and two losses. The departure of Adams represents a significant loss for Pierce’s squad, which is slowly coming to terms with the fact that they won’t have a key player moving forward.
