The Las Vegas Raiders had one of their worst seasons. Despite having star attractions, the franchise crashed heavily and got kicked out of the postseason. As of now, the franchise would look to regroup and fix the odds they had this season. The franchise is under deep scrutiny over the Derek Carr situation. But the fans have one thing to rejoice about: Davante Adams.
Davante Adams made his goals apparent after showing up at the weekly media conference. Obviously, the Derek Carr drama is something people cannot ignore, and the WR has undying loyalty for the QB1. Despite the quarterback issues, Adams intends to stay in Las Vegas and compete for the AFC West franchise.

According to ABC News, Davante Adams said he has infinite loyalty toward Derek Carr. But that does not rule out the probability of him competing with the Raiders. He mentioned, “My dream was to play for this team before [Derek Carr] was a Raider, and at this point I want to try to make this thing work and continue on doing what I’m doing here, myself get better and see the team grow and get better as well.”
Davante Adams asked if he wants to be here next year "Yeah, definitely. . . my dream was to play for this team before [Derek Carr] was here." #Raiders

But this user does not believe Adams.

This user also said that Derek Carr is the reason Davante Adams was there in Vegas.
That can’t be true! All the Carr Stans told me he was leaving because the only reason he was here was because of Derek Carr!

Another user also said that is not what the WR said last week.
That’s not what he said last week. He said he wants to play with Carr, that was the reason he went to Las Vegas…so…🤷♂️🤔

Moreover, this user said he cannot imagine Adams openly declaring that he doesn’t would like to be here.
I can’t imagine a world where Adams would say publicly that he didn’t want to be here. If he doesn’t, he will have his agent work a trade.

But this user said that he is sure that Adams would stay with the Raiders.
Of course he'll stay. If Carr decides to retire, does that mean Adams would too? Of course not.

Another user said if the franchise brings in Brady, there’s no reason that he would leave.
If they bring Brady, ain’t no way he will leave. If they bring in a rookie, that’s another discussion for another day. But Stidham fed him. When he’s fed, his team usually wins.

The Raiders’ season has remained an underwhelming one. But Davante Adams has had a record-breaking one.

Davante Adams remained the prime attraction for the franchise. Despite the franchise’s mediocre performance, the WR breached a franchise record held by a Raiders legend.

Adams set a new team record for yards receiving in a single season. On a 45-yard touchdown reception from Jarrett Stidham, the wideout trumped franchise legend, Tim Brown. In 1997, Brown had 1,408 yards. Adams currently has 1,443 yards with one game remaining in Week 18.
Adams is a bona fide attraction who would stay with the Raiders for another season.
