Davante Adams Rips Former NFL Star For Spreading False Rumor

   

Davante Adams isn't thrilled with former NFL wide receiver DeSean Jackson.

Jackson recently went on The Herd with Colin Cowherd and told him that Adams isn't happy with the Raiders. 

"This one is tough because me and Davante, we have talked and I hate to do it because I do not want to the guy that is like, 'Oh, D-Jax said this and said that,' but at the end of the day, he isn't happy," Jackson said, via Sports Illustrated. 

Adams saw what Jackson said and vehemently denied that he wasn't happy with the Raiders.

"The facts are the facts and that is not a fact. I've probably spoken with DeSean Jackson maybe three or four times in my life, and I never had a conversation with him ever," Adams said to the media on Wednesday. "And I put that on my kids. I've never spoken to him about anything. The only person I really talk to about my feelings in general is my wife, and she ain't out there leaking anything and dropping stuff like that to the media. Once again, whatever you see, if it ain't from the horse's mouth, it's probably (expletive)."

Adams is gearing up for his third season with the Raiders after spending the previous eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He's coming off a 2023 season in which he finished with 103 receptions for 1,444 yards and eight touchdowns. 

He has recorded four straight 1,000-yard seasons and is looking to make it five in a row during the 2024 NFL season.
