On Monday, the Las Vegas Raiders indicated that they had no intention of trading star wide receiver Davante Adams ahead of Tuesday's deadline.
Many wondered if the team's stance would change after Adams was visibly upset during the Raiders' loss to the Lions, a game he finished with one reception for 11 yards.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Raiders are sticking with their original stance on an Adams trade.
Schefter says that he heard that there was "not a chance in Hell" that Adams would be moved ahead of the deadline on Tuesday afternoon.
The Raiders fell to 3-5 on the season with Monday night's loss, a game in which quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was unable to handle the pressure from Detroit's defensive line.
The lack of chemistry between Garoppolo and Adams is apparent, with the quarterback seemingly looking more comfortable with other receivers on the team.
When Adams joined the Raiders before the 2022 season, he was playing with his college quarterback and good friend Derek Carr. The Raiders' relationship with Carr deteriorated last season, and he was released only to sign with the New Orleans Saints.
Many NFL fans are feeling sorry for Adams after such a dramatic change in conditions and the makeup of the team, but the Raiders are content with keeping their star wide receiver a little longer.
