Las Vegas Raiders: Why Davante Adams will retire in the Silver and Black
By CJ Errickson
The 1-3 Las Vegas Raiders have underperformed in 2023, and star wide receiver Davante Adams has recently been the center of attention. The 30-year-old wideout forced his way to Las Vegas last season to reunite with former collegiate teammate and former Raiders' starter Derek Carr.
After Carr was released from the Silver and Black this past offseason, media and pundits alike questioned whether or not Adams would remain in Las Vegas without his partner in crime. The All-Pro had this to say this past offseason about staying with the organization.
