A report that Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams requested a trade on Tuesday was followed by one that said the team is willing to consider moving him, but head coach Antonio Pierce didn’t confirm or deny anything on the trade front Wednesday.
Pierce was asked about Adams’s status with the team at the start of his press conference and declined to discuss anything related to the flurry of reports on Tuesday.
