Antonio Pierce may have expressed his opinion on wide receiver Davante Adams.

The Las Vegas Raiders head coach liked an Instagram post Sports IllustratedMichael Fabiano of Michael Fabiano reported that Adams may have “already played his last snap with the Raiders.”

Pierce has since removed his like on the post, but his interaction could prove that Fabiano's report is accurate and that the six-time Pro Bowler could be on his way out of Las Vegas.

Fabiano reported that the Raiders may prevent him from completing a trade and that he could have numerous suitors, with the New York Jets being a notable destination.

“Some of my little birds out there make me think there's a chance he doesn't play for the Raiders again,” Fabiano said. “(My sources say that) he could have played yesterday, but the Raiders want to deal him because they know they could get something valuable out of him and they know they're not going anywhere this year.”

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Adams did not play in Week 4 after “going lame” in practice on Thursday. He is considered week-to-week with the injury.

While it could be a coincidence that Pierce liked the post, it could also be a sign that this move is coming soon.

Adams has 18 catches for 209 yards and a touchdown in 2024. He is under contract through 2026, although his contract calls for an “out” after the 2024 season.

With that in mind, he could be loaned by a rival team midseason and the franchise wouldn't have to bring him back. However, the team could decide to keep him if he excels. So that's an interesting situation.

The 2024 NFL trade deadline is November 4th. If Adams were to be dealt, it would have to be done before that date.
