Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams.
The Las Vegas Raiders are in a very different place than they were last year. Pete Carroll is the head coach now, and Geno Smith is the starting quarterback.
However, Davante Adams continues to take shots at the Raiders. He recently spoke about how there was a dark cloud over the franchise when he was there, and that was just the latest in a long series of shots he’s taken at the team.
Well, he still wasn’t done there. Adams was on “The Pivot Podcast,” and host Ryan Clark brought up his Raiders tenure. He used the opportunity to criticize the franchise again.
“So I started to feel like a sense of helplessness, I guess you could say, where typically I could walk around warmups and feel like I can own that place. Like I can see people looking at me and I can love it. Like that type of attention … the DC for the Raiders (Patrick Graham) used to slap my hand in warmups every day and say, ‘Box office. They came to see you.’
“And when he say that, that would get my blood going to the point where I was like, ‘I need to go sit down somewhere.’ You know what I’m saying? That’s my whole mindset, like I just want to be me until (God) decided, not anybody else.”
