As it stands, Davante Adams’ time playing for the Las Vegas Raiders is nearing an end and an eventual trade will send him somewhere soon. According to an NFL analysis by Bleacher Report, though, one of the potential trade scenarios for the wide receiver is playing for the Dallas Cowboys before the deadline ends.
Adams has made it clear that he prefers to be traded from the Las Vegas Raiders, a situation that has been developing for some time. Since joining the team, the Raiders have struggled, posting a record of 16-22, and he has played under six different quarterbacks. Recent tensions between the wide receiver and head coach Antonio Pierce have further fueled speculation about a potential trade.
The Raiders are reportedly looking for a second-round draft pick along with additional compensation. However, some teams are hesitant to meet this asking price due to the anticipated need for contract restructuring. Adams is currently set to earn a significant salary, and teams are concerned about committing to such a deal without first negotiating terms with him.
While interest in Adams is growing, potential trade partners are considering third-round picks rather than the second-round selection the Raiders desire. An NFC team has shown interest, but they are not willing to part with a second-round pick, and there’s speculation that the Raiders might need to absorb part of Adams’ salary to facilitate a deal.
As the November 4 trade deadline approaches, the situation remains fluid. The Raiders are hopeful for a favorable return, but the complexities of Adams’ contract and the dynamics of team relationships could impact the final outcome. Teams will need to weigh the benefits of acquiring a star wide receiver against the challenges of a potential contract negotiation, making this a critical storyline to follow in the coming weeks.

Dallas may have to win with its offense for the foreseeable future. That may be a problem because the team lacks reliable receiver depth behind CeeDee Lamb and has one of the worst rushing attacks in the NFL.
Trading for Adams would give Dak Prescott a top-tier perimeter receiver opposite Lamb and would reunite Adams with head coach Mike McCarthy.
McCarthy, who is entering the final year of his contract, should be pounding the table for Adams, if only for the impact it might have on his job security. He was the Green Bay Packers head coach during Adams’ first five seasons, and his offense helped the receiver blossom into a star.
The Cowboys are reportedly exploring a trade for Adams as the Raiders look to move the star wide receiver before the NFL trade deadline. Adams, who has been dealing with a hamstring issue, wants out of Las Vegas, where he has become frustrated with the team’s struggles. The Raiders are seeking a second-round draft pick in return.
If acquired, Adams could significantly bolster the Cowboys’ offense alongside CeeDee Lamb, reminiscent of their past success with Amari Cooper. As trade discussions unfold, this could be a pivotal move for Dallas.
