Davante Adams is expected to be traded, and one of his latest moves is thought to be an indicator of it happening sooner rather than later, given that he’s canceled a particular appearance originally scheduled for this week.
The Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver is a regular on the ‘Up & Adams’ show, which is quite fitting. He was scheduled to make another appearance this Tuesday but won’t be around, which suggests that a deal could be in the works.
Host Kay Adams announced as much on Wednesday, noting that “a lot” was going on where the star wideout was concerned.
“Oh boy – lots happening at the moment with our guy Adams,” the former NFL Network personality wrote. “… he won’t be on TOMORROW. Sorry bout that, and stay tuned.”

The Raiders Want A Second-Round Pick For Davante Adams
Adams is available for trade in the wake of a request to be moved. While the Raiders ended last season on a high note, and he was one of the players who advocated for Antonio Pierce to be retained, the wideout isn’t happy with the start the team has gotten off to this term.
The Raiders are reportedly looking for a second-round pick and additional compensation in exchange for the six-time Pro Bowler.

The New Orleans Saints and New York Jets have both been linked amid rife speculation. Either move would reunite the WR with a former quarterback teammate (Derek Carr or Aaron Rodgers). However, other franchises, more so the Pittsburgh Steelers, are believed to be monitoring the situation.
It was reported that teams were put off by the asking price, with insider Jordan Schultz claiming on Monday that the demands were “unrealistic,” considering Adams’ salary.
However, it appears that might not be the case after all, given the canceled interview.
