This is not what Davante Adams envisioned when he got traded to the Las Vegas Raiders.
The money may have been longer in Las Vegas when he got traded, but the grass is certainly not greener on the other side. The Raiders wideout said he is “frustrated and angry” amid the team’s 0-3 start.
“Frustrated and angry. Expect more,” Adams told reporters after Sunday’s 24-22 loss to the Tennessee Titans. “It’s not easy to win in this league. We know that. Nobody’s naïve to the fact that nobody’s just going to lay down and just give you a victory, but at the end of the day we expect more and we will do better as we move forward.”
During Sunday’s loss to the Titans, Adams finished with five catches for 36 yards and a touchdown, his second straight disappointing outing. He began the year with a 10-catch, 141-yard game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Since then, he has had 48 total receiving yards over the last two weeks.
The Raiders are one of just two remaining winless teams three weeks into the NFL season. The other is the Houston Texans, but they had zero expectations headed into this year.
Las Vegas was a wild-card team a year ago and came into 2022 with massive expectations after trading for Adams and hiring Josh McDaniels as head coach.

Adams says he wants his new team to “stay the course,” but they’re quickly falling behind in a competitive AFC West.
