Davante Adams has stirred up massive controversy ever since his move to the Las Vegas Raiders was finalized. The prolific WR has been extremely vocal after QB Derek Carr was ousted by the team. 

The Raiders have been under massive scrutiny for the move, and Adams has played a big part in the criticism. The 30-year-old WR had moved to the team to play with his former college teammate. After his absence, Adams feels that the Raiders have no direction.

HC Josh McDaniels recently stated that he had no issues with Adams revolting against the team and debating over its future. He believes that the WR has earned the right to speak out after his exceptional performances with the Green Bay Packers.

“And I respect the hell out of anything that [he] would say or suggest or anything like that,” Josh McDaniels stated. “During the course of the process of trying to improve our team, which, I know where Davante comes from, he’s a competitor.”

Shannon Sharpe has been highly vocal about the issue and spoke out against Adams in a recent episode of Undisputed. The NFL analyst believes that McDaniels is ‘just saving face’ after the Davante Adams fiasco and is actually enraged about the whole situation. 

“McDaniels understands who and what Davante Adams is, but trust me, he’s seething & trying to save face,” Shannon Sharpe stated on the Undisputed.

Josh McDaniels has had a great coaching career where he has served an exceptional stint at the Denver Broncos. The 47-year-old has been involved with coaching since 2001.

Shannon Sharpe believes McDaniels has no reason to make those statements and is actually doing to take himself away from controversy. Sharpe also added that McDaniels is extremely furious over Davante Adams’s recent outburst against the team.

McDaniels managed the Broncos with an iron fist and had always been dominant on and off the field. His recent admissions are not like him and he is just playing according to the system.

Sharpe’s recent statement was a different take on the whole Davante Adams and the Raiders controversy. The Raiders are trying their best to resolve the entire situation before the new NFL season starts. They are also working towards a mutual understanding between Adams and Jimmy G.
