What happens in Vegas might not always stay in Vegas.

Las Vegas Raiders star wide receiver Davante Adams told the team he prefers to be traded away, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday.

Nothing is imminent, Rapoport added, though things could intensify.

The 31-year-old has made three appearances during the 2024 NFL season, recording 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown. His best outing came in the Raiders’ stunning Week 2 win against the Baltimore Ravens, where he logged nine catches for 110 yards and a score.

But coach Antonio Pierce’s side has been inconsistent in his first full season in charge, with Gardner Minshew under center and Adams likely wanting to play for a contender.

So, which teams should be on the radar for the wideout? Let’s look at five in particular:

New York Jets

It all makes a little too much sense. Adams could be reunited with Aaron Rodgers after both caused havoc while with the Green Bay Packers. They could look to replicate that form in the Jets’ green, with New York in need of better offensive production.

Allen Lazard is New York’s leading receiver with Garrett Wilson also in the mix. Newly acquired Mike Williams hasn’t yet delivered much, recording just eight catches for 120 yards and no touchdowns through four games.

At 2-2, Adams could be the addition required for the Jets that moves the needle for them in a tight AFC.

Dallas Cowboys

Another 2-2 team, the Cowboys have been quiet subpar on both sides of the ball and their schedule does not get any easier. With Dak Prescott the most expensive quarterback in the league, there’s not much elite production around him apart from CeeDee Lamb.

Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott are struggling in the ground game, while Brandin Cooks has been slow out of the gate with just nine catches, 91 yards and a touchdown through four games.

Dallas arguably could benefit from more robust…
