Brandon Aiyuk is a straight savage.
The Raiders and 49ers don’t have much to play for in Week 16, but that didn’t stop the San Francisco wide receiver from trash talking heading into Sunday’s matchup.
Las Vegas is fresh off benching Derek Carr for the remainder of the season to keep him healthy for a potential trade, and the quarterback reportedly left the facility as former New England Patriots signal-caller Jarrett Stidham will be the starter against the 49ers this Sunday.
Davante Adams would soon deliver his shocked reaction to the news.
“Obviously, I don’t think anybody was excited about it in here,” Adams told reporters Wednesday, per video from NBC. “Him being one of my good friends, the reason why I came here in the first place. I wouldn’t be here right now if he wasn’t here. I think everybody knows how I feel about him. With that said, there’s a process of how things go, and I’m not going to sit here and go on and on, but obviously, I support my guy.”
On Instagram, Adams added: “This man gave everything he had. The reason I’m a Raider. … One of the most disciplined and loving people I know. Got my bruddas back through whatever and if you can’t respect it (excuse my language) (expletive) you! Love u bruh.”

49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk decided that would be a good moment to give Adams some advice.
“Sit out this week, stand (with) yo guy,” Aiyuk commented on the NBC Instagram video.
Sunday’s game will pit Stidham and Brock Purdy against each other. Not exactly a game fans are looking to watch. For fantasy owners, they are hoping Adams doesn’t take the advice of Aiyuk.
The former Green Bay Packers star is currently tied for the lead with 12 touchdowns to go with his 88 receptions and 1,290 yards.
However, things have been frustrating for him as he shoved a cameraman after the Raiders’ Week 5 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and was charged with misdemeanor assault as a result.
The court date is set for Jan. 23, 2023.
