Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones doesn’t want fans of America’s Team to get their hopes up on a potential trade for Las Vegas Raiders superstar wide receiver Davante Adams.
Earlier this week, reports stated that Davante Adams requested a trade from the Raiders. The 31-year-old has been the subject of trade rumors for over a year now, and things finally came to a head soon after Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce was caught “liking” a post about Adams playing his last game in Vegas:
The Cowboys are, naturally, always mentioned as a possible landing spot any time a big-named player hits the trade block. Adams is no exception, but Jones wanted to be perfectly transparent with Cowboys fans that a possible trade for the six-time Pro Bowler isn’t realistic.
Speaking on “The Blitz with Jason & Joe” of San Antonio’s Sports Star, Jones cited the Cowboys’ cap situation as to why they can’t pull off a blockbuster trade for Davante Adams:
“No, I don’t think there is anything to that. We just signed our No. 1 guy, and (Adams) is a No. 1 receiver. When you have the challenges cap-wise that we have, that would be a long putt for us.”

It’s not what some Cowboys fans want to hear, but Stephen Jones deserves credit for being honest instead of giving meaningless word salad like his father and team owner, Jerry Jones.
Davante Adams is in the third season of a five-year deal worth $140 million he signed with the Raiders in 2022. And considering that he turns 32 years of age in December, it’s easy to understand why the Cowboys aren’t exploring a trade at this time.
Davante Adams Will Have Plenty Of Interested Suitors
The New York Jets are the most logical landing spot for Adams, given his connection with Aaron Rodgers and their status as a Super Bowl hopeful. But the New Orleans Saints have also been linked to Adams, who has a history and close friendship with quarterback Derek Carr.
Other contenders that make sense for the All-Pro wide receiver include the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions.
