The Las Vegas Raiders’ season has taken an odd turn not only because star receiver Davante Adams began seeking a trade less than a month into the season. However, it’s specifially odd that Adams took a turn against both the organization as a whole and coach Antonio Pierce specifically.
Raiders HC Antonio Pierce Destroyed For Heartless Comment On Davante Adams (Report)
When asked when things went south with Adams, Antonio Pierce didn’t have the best answer:
“I don’t know (where things went wrong). You gotta ask Davante that.”

It does seem as if the notion of trading Adams out of Las Vegas has a personal component. There is nothing new about star players trying to get out of bad situations, and the Raiders’ offense is nothing short of horrendous, but Pierce seemed to gain the trust of the players’ top brass last season. During the season, Adams was vocal about his support of the Raiders keeping Pierce as head coach.
After Pierce took over the Raiders on Halloween of 2023, they finished 8-9, within a win of the AFC playoffs. Adams expressed his admiration for Pierce’s honesty and upfront approach to dealing with players.
When fans saw this response, they were quick to respond themselves:

When you didn’t give him a decent QB to throw him the ball that’s where things went wrong but not all on you either McDaniels laid the groundwork

AP not knowing where it went wrong is the biggest part of the problem!
It when wrong when he benched the quarterback that got AP the job, when AP hired a elementary school football coach to be the offensive coordinator and when AP wants 3 point wins instead 30

Not the answer of a leader.
