Raiders' Davante Adams "Absolutely," Wants to Return

The Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams confirmed our reporting today that as long as the Raiders provide a quarterback who can get him the ball, he "Absolutely," wants to be back.

HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders are a disappointing 6-10, and are preparing to face perennial NFL and fellow AFC West power the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend.

Even with one game remaining and the Silver and Black out of the playoff picture, and all eyes are already looking ahead to what is sure to be a long off-season.

After moving on from quarterback Derek Carr, many have speculated that Davante Adams would want to move on.  But many does not include your coverage here. As multiple times I have reported, that feeling inside the Raiders Headquarters is that Davante Adams, if given a proven quarterback, would stay in the Silver and Black.

So today, I caught up with Adams and asked him point blank; if the Raiders leadership provided him a proven quarterback in 2023, does he want to stay?  He confirmed my report.  

You can watch our entire question and answer below and read the transcript as well:

Q: I know this team in the off-season will make decisions that you don't have a say in, but if they get you a quarterback who you know can get you a ball, do you want to come back and be a Raider again next year?

Adams: "Yeah, absolutely. I mean like I said, I wouldn't have been here or ended up here originally probably if Derek [Carr] wasn't here, but it doesn't necessarily mean that I won't be here in the event that he's not here. That's my boy, obviously I got his back through anything. I think I've made that more than clear at this point, and I support him, I support everything that he has moving forward as well. But my dream was to play for this team before he was a Raider obviously, and at this point I want to obviously try to make this thing work and continue on doing what I'm doing here and make myself get better and obviously see the team grow and get better as well."

The Raiders' final game of the season is at Allegiant Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, Jan. 7, and kicks off at 1:30 p.m. PST/4:30 p.m. PST. It will be available to watch on ESPN and ABC.
