Raiders fans aren’t impressed with Davante Adams’ farewell message to Las Vegas

Davante Adams is once again on his way to greener pastures.

The Las Vegas Raiders traded Adams to the New York Jets on Tuesday for a conditional third-round draft pick, reuniting him with Aaron Rodgers, his former teammate with the Green Bay Packers.

As he leaves Las Vegas, Adams – who grew up a Raiders fan in Palo Alto, California – writes a letter to Las Vegas fans before dressing in a Jets uniform for his first game.

“Thank you for your unwavering passion and unwavering support as I raise the historic sign every Sunday,” Adams wrote on Instagram. “From Oakland to Las Vegas, Raider Nation has been and will continue to be a part of my family.”

Raiders fans were not impressed, to say the least.

“Thank you for doing this in the offseason and not quitting your team in the middle of the season!” wrote one fan in the comments section.

“‘Once a Raider, always a Raider’ doesn’t apply to you,” another fan wrote.

Adams came to Las Vegas via trade before the 2022 NFL season to play with Derek Carr, his quarterback in college at Fresno State. But after the Raiders parted ways with Carr in 2023, rumors of a move around Adams began swirling, and they never really stopped until he was officially moved on Tuesday.

Adams played in 37 games over two-plus seasons for the Raiders, appearing in all 17 contests in 2022 and 2023 before a hamstring injury kept him out of three games this year. He posted two 1,000-yard seasons in a Raiders uniform and had 18 catches for 209 yards and a score in three games this year.

Adams is expected to return from his hamstring injury and make his Jets debut Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
