When the new Davante Adams situation emerged last night, it seemed easy to dismiss. He has been entangled in trade rumors for the past two years, and a new report suggesting he might join the Jets didn’t feel significant.
Then, when Antonio Pierce liked the Instagram post (shock!), people began to take it more seriously. However, this isn’t anyone’s first social media reaction experience. There are various reasons, whether convincing or not, that could explain this situation, and it seemed a bit too fabricated to be taken at face value. With Adams set to appear on Kay Adams’ show on Tuesday, everyone had a chance to share a laugh and move on.
In theory, that was possible. But did it happen? No. When questioned about the situation, Adams provided an answer that will be analyzed from every angle in the coming week. Buckle up, friends.
Davante Adams’ comments on Antonio Pierce are bad news for the Raiders

“I haven’t heard from him,” Adams said. “I haven’t talked to him. I don’t really know exactly what that’s about. Obviously social media is a beast, so there’s a lot of people out there who saw it and are wondering what’s going on. People reaching out. I haven’t spoke to him … Honestly, it’s hard to comment on. It’s one of those situations where I keep my head down, and keep doing my thing, and let the chips fall where they may as it pertains to that. But there’s been no communication from the team since that became a thing … “
Yiiiiiiiiiikes. Yikes yikes yikes. I could hear an argument that Pierce liked the tweet facetiously –or even on accident – but this response from Adams makes me think that this might officially be A Thing. It seems like this is the sort of situation that Adams could call his head coach about? Before going on one of the biggest daily NFL shows out there? Now I’m starting to think that Fantasy Football analyst was onto something.
I guess we were always headed here eventually, but it’s still kind of alarming to have this pop up the week after a get-right win. We’re in for a long month.
