The Las Vegas Raiders at 3-5 are likely watching another season slip away. Their two best players are watching their peaks years slide right along out of sight. Davante Adams and Maxx Crosby could have been key pieces for a championship contender elsewhere.
Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph intercepts a pass intended for Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams during the first half of an NFL football game, Monday, Oct. 30, 2023, in Detroit. Las Vegas Raiders’ Davante Adams catches a pass in front of Green Bay Packers’ Isaiah McDuffie during the second half of an NFL football game Monday, Oct. 9, 2023, in Las Vegas.
He had potential touchdowns wiped out in Monday night’s 26-14 loss to the Detroit Lions on errant passes from Jimmy Garoppolo. Adams didn’t have such frustration in his eight seasons in Green Bay catching passes from Aaron Rodgers as he developed into one of the NFL’s top receivers. He also was outstanding in his first season in Las Vegas with 100 receptions for 1,516 yards and 14 touchdowns, but this season the subpar quarterback play by Garoppolo and backups Brian Hoyer and Aidan O’Connell has often made Adams irrelevant in games.
Crosby, whose motor never stops running, has spent his entire five-year career with the Raiders. He often has been dominant and against the Lions forced and recovered a fumble and had a tackle for loss.
