The Las Vegas Raiders might soon be forced to trade away star wide receiver Davante Adams amid growing speculation. Trade rumors have surrounded Adams since his first year with the team, particularly after the benching and release of quarterback Derek Carr, who had a significant influence on Adams’ decision to join the Raiders.
Now, three years later, the situation seems to have reached a point where both the Raiders and Adams are reportedly open to a potential trade. Multiple reports suggest Adams could soon be on the trade block, signaling major changes for the team.
In response to the trade rumors, the Raiders have already made a notable addition to their wide receiver group. According to sports reporter Nick Walters, Raiders practice on Wednesday included pass catchers, among them cornerback Jack Jones, as the team prepares for their game against Denver.
While Jones is primarily a cornerback and highly valuable in that role, the team may consider using him in offensive packages given his past experience at wide receiver.
During his high school career at Long Beach Poly, Jones amassed 1,556 receiving yards and 106 receptions, showcasing his versatility and athleticism.
Though Jones’ primary position is on defense, it will be interesting to see if the Raiders incorporate him into their offense as a response to potentially losing one of the top wide receivers in the NFL. The team is preparing for significant adjustments if Adams is traded, and Jones could provide a unique option for their offense going forward.
