The Las Vegas Raiders said goodbye to Davante Adams after trading him to the New York Jets. For the past few weeks, there was a sense that Adams would be on a new team, but the question was what team that would be. Adams is now reunited with his former quarterback Aaron Rodgers as they try to turn the Jets’ season around, while questions remain surrounding what direction the Raiders go in.

Head coach Antonio Pierce shared his thoughts about the trade, and he kept it real about Adams departing when talking to the team.

“We didn’t have him the last few weeks. We’re fine,” Pierce said.

Adams had missed the past three games with a hamstring injury, but there’s a real chance that he will play in the Jets’ Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
