Robin Adams covered the story for Gridiron Heroics regarding what Adams had to say about the Raiders choosing to move on from Derek Carr:

On a July 17 episode of “Club Shay Shay,” Adams opened up about joining the Raiders after requesting a trade from the Green Bay Packers, who had placed the franchise tag on him. While Adams and the Packers could not agree on a contract extension, Green Bay did trade him to the team of his choice, which was Las Vegas.

As fans know, Adams had a few reasons for wanting to play for the Raiders:

“I grew up a Raiders fan, being from The Bay, and my whole family being Raiders fans. And so, in a sense, it was kind of written. But at the same time, I don’t know if I would have made the move if it had not been [Derek Carr] under center when I got there.”

Adams and Carr were previously teammates during the college days at Fresno State. Reuniting with his friend and former quarterback was a big reason why Adams chose to be traded to Las Vegas.

On Las Vegas decided to get rid of Carr late in 2022, Adams’ first season with the team, the All-Pro wide receiver said, “When they got rid of him, I was not happy about that at all.”

He went on to explain that he realizes that the NFL is a business and the decision to get rid of Carr was not personal. That, however, did not make it sting any less.

And, if the Raiders are being honest with themselves, they have not done a good job of finding Carr’s replacement.

When Raiders fans saw Adams didn’t like the move, the reacted accordingly on social media:
