Joy Taylor believes recent turmoil could lead to Davante Adams leaving Raiders: “They clearly don't respect anyone that bleeds and tries for them”
Davante Adams' future with the Las Vegas Raiders has become uncertain following Derek Carr's benching. Adams came to the Raiders from the Green Bay Packers to play alongside Carr, but that won't be the case anymore.
With Jarrett Stidham as his starting QB for the last two games of the season, Joy Taylor believes Adams could force his way out of the Raiders. She highlighted how the Raiders have mismanaged everything and how Carr's exit changes everything.
So much respect @tae15adams 💯💯 https://t.co/2qESIjn0Ca
Here's what Joy Taylor said about the Las Vegas Raiders:
"They clearly don't respect anyone that bleeds and tries for them. Because Derek Carr has been the only steadiest thing for them for almost a decade. So they don't have any like respect for people that they have in the building, clearly."
Taylor added:
"They can say whatever you want about Derek Carr’s play this year. It wasn't great. But he's been the only thing there that's been consistent. So if I'm here because of him. Who the hell else you bring it in?"
Joy Taylor did say that, if the Raiders manage to get either Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers in 2023, then that could tempt Davante Adams to stay.
However, if the Raiders fail to get an elite quarterback to replace Derek Carr, there is a high possibility that Adams will seek an exit as his main goal was to play with his best friend.
Davante Adams' first season with the Raiders
After a blockbuster move from the Green Bay Packers, Adams came in with high expectations for the Raiders. Although the team's season hasn't gone well, Adams has been able to quietly have a decent season.
He has 88 catches for 1,290 yards and has scored 12 touchdowns in 15 games this season. Adams would have wanted the season to go better as he had a great opportunity to play with Carr. Unfortunately, things didn't go their way.
🏻Davante Adams supports Derek Carr. Very professional answer here 👏🏻 https://t.co/UPCgcBtPfF
The Raiders have lost many close games this season while also blowing double-digit leads. This has been frustrating for everyone, but ultimately quarterback Derek Carr became the scapegoat and has been forced to sit out.
Josh McDaniels is likely to continue as the Raiders HC. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Davante Adams.
