Can Davante Adams request trade from Raiders?
Yes, superstar wide receiver Davante Adams can ask the Las Vegas Raiders to move him before the trade deadline this year. However, whether the Raiders will let him leave is another story since the team is under no duty to accept a trade request from a dissatisfied star receiver.
The Raiders, who are presently 3-5, are in a difficult situation with Adams.

The squad led by Josh McDaniels, on the other hand, has yet to express a desire to rebuild after the 2023 season. As a consequence, it’s tough to see the team sending away their best player after only a season and a half with them.
What will Davante Adams be paid in 2023?
Davante Adams, the perennial All-Pro wide receiver, is set to make $28,000,000 in 2023, according to Spotrac. The former Green Bay Packers wideout is in the final year of a hefty five-year, $140,000,000 deal he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders after being traded from the Packers.
This contract makes the six-time Pro Bowler one of the highest-paid players in the league at his position. Furthermore, as he reaches his mid-thirties in the NFL, he is allowed stability.
Davante Adams has signed the following contracts throughout his professional football career:
| Years | Contact Details | Team | Duration |
| 5 | $140,000,000 | Las Vegas Raiders | 2022 – 2027 |
| 1 | $20,145,000 | Green Bay Packers | 2022-2022 |
| 4 | $58,000,000 | Green Bay Packers | 2017-2021 |
| 4 | $3,933,402 | Green Bay Packers | 2014-2017 |

How will Davante Adams do in 2023?
Davante Adams has had an ordinary 2023 NFL season by his standards thus far. In seven appearances with the Raiders, the Pro Bowl pass catcher had 528 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
This is despite Jimmy Garoppolo’s poor quarterback play and the team’s questionable game plan. As a result, Adams is on pace for his worst statistical season since joining the Green Bay Packers.
There’s a reason why rumblings of a frustrated Adams asking a trade get more audible by the day. The Raiders’ front office, on the other hand, is known for putting its foot down when it comes to player selection. Adams and the franchise would be advised to try to salvage their 2023 season before engaging in critical conversations at the season’s end.
