VIDEO: Jets WR Davante Adams Shares Shocking Reason Why The Raiders Wouldn’t Trade Him To The Chiefs

Davante Adams got his wish earlier this week when the Las Vegas Raiders sent him to the New York Jets, reuniting the All-Pro wide receiver with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. It was reported earlier this month that Davante Adams requested a trade from the Raiders, with the Jets and New Orleans Saints on his wish list. The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs were also linked to Adams, and it made sense on paper given the injuries to Rashee Rice and Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown.
