WR Adams: 'Not a fact' I'm unhappy in Vegas

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams took exception to former NFL wideout DeSean Jackson's recent claims that Adams was not "happy" in Las Vegas.

"At the end of the day, the facts are the facts and that is not a fact," Adams said Wednesday as the Raiders prepared for their season opener at the Los Angeles Chargers.

"I've probably spoken to DeSean Jackson maybe three or four times in my life, and I never had a conversation with him [about this], ever. And I put that on my kids. I've never spoken to him about anything."

Adams said the only person he shares public feelings with is his wife.

"And she ain't out there leaking anything, and dropping stuff like that in the media," he said.

"If it ain't from the horse's mouth, it's probably bulls---."

Jackson, who played with the Raiders briefly in 2021, appeared on the "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" on Aug. 27 and was asked about Adams, whose appearance on the Netflix series "Receiver" often showed a frustrated player.

Combine that with Adams missing time in OTAs and training camp and not playing in the exhibition season -- he returned home to be with his wife for the birth of their son -- and Jackson offered his opinion.

"I mean, you've got Gardner Minshew, that's actually been named the starting quarterback this year," Jackson said. "This year is going to be tough. They don't have the quarterback that they want. I know they wanted to get a quarterback in that draft, and they couldn't get their guy. So, obviously, they kind of defaulted to who they have.

"This one's tough because me and Davante, we've talked and man, I hate to do it, I don't want to be the guy that's like, 'Oh, DJax said this and said that.' But at the end of the day, he is unhappy. I mean, you go from Aaron Rodgers, then you come to the Las Vegas Raiders and now not only Jimmy G [Garoppolo], you had your boy [Derek] Carr. It didn't really work out...from the Fresno State days, right? You think they would come back and work everything out and it just quite didn't work out. So now, I just don't think he's really that happy there."

Adams said he nearly put out a video of himself denying Jackson's claims but did not want to give them any "attention" before being asked about them Wednesday.

"But in terms of me being upset or not being happy in this organization, it's just a bunch of BS that's just meant to throw everybody off and get clickbait," Adams said. "Everybody wants to see what Davante Adams got to say, and, you know, He's pissed off in Vegas. If I was pissed off, I mean, I wouldn't be here right now.

"I don't think that y'all standing in front of me [are] getting the vibe that I want to leave this place. And if you do, then you're just feeding into the bulls--- that they're feeding you all out there. And that's not reality."
