The party ended after one season when the Raiders traded Carr, leaving Adams by himself in this broken team. Adams decided to quit one franchise primarily because he was unsure about his position as the team’s quarterback. Then, a year later, his new team fires his hand-picked quarterback to play with.
Adams now seems to be regretting the decision more and more every week. The Raiders aren’t the worst NFL team, but they also aren’t among the best. Adams caught 100 catches last season for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns, despite how awful they’ve been. Adams has already racked up 25 receptions, 322 yards, and three touchdowns through three games this season. Sadly,
Adams claims he doesn’t have time to wait around, and as he gets closer to turning 31, it’s true. He is therefore correct. For receivers (and players in general over 30), time is of the essence. However, he asked to become a part of this franchise, albeit in a different way. Players are frequently traded or released, and there have been whispers that the Raiders may be moving on from Carr. He made a bold move by leaving a maybe less-than-ideal environment and entering a new one.
