Davante Adams on Raiders future, trade rumors: 'No communication with anybody'
The Las Vegas Raiders bounced back in Week 4 to earn a 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns despite missing one of their top players, wide receiver Davante Adams. He was ruled out of the Week 4 matchup due to a hamstring injury after being limited in practice Thursday and missing practice entirely on Friday.
On Monday, an Instagram account linked to Raiders coach Antonio Pierce liked a post suggesting Adams may have already played his last game with Las Vegas.
Adams responded Tuesday morning on the "Up & Adams" show on FanDuel TV.

Adams on Pierce liking Instagram post, trade rumors
Adams said on the show he hasn't heard from Pierce after the news of him liking that Instagram post came out.
"I haven't talked to him," Adams said. "I don't really know what that was about. Obviously, social media's a beast so a lot of people saw it and are wondering what's going on, people reaching out."
When pressed on his response, Adams said he'll just keep his head down.
"Let the chips fall where they may as it pertains to that," he said. "But there's been no communication with anybody from the team since that became a thing but it's kind of like the weekly 'what's up with [Davante]?' thing. It's always some sort of drama... [but] I'm trying to be the model for not stirring the pot and just locking in and doing what I got to do."

Adams on Las Vegas Raiders future
Adams, a six-time Pro Bowl and three-time first-team All-Pro, is still a productive wideout and could be an attractive trade target for teams looking to make a run in 2024.
On the trade rumors, the 31-year-old said he's focusing on what he can control.
"All I can control is this talk we're having right here," Adams said, referring to his appearance on the show. "After we're done with this, all I control is the next thing I'm going to do."
