Any chance the Las Vegas Raiders had of competing this season went out the door when they traded star wideout Davante Adams to the New York Jets. With a 2-4 record and the league’s 27th-ranked offense, the Raiders will likely be watching from the couch come playoff time. Despite this, owner Mark Davis said moving on from his team’s marquee player didn’t make for a difficult week.
“I’m used to it,” Davis told NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport. “I’ve grown up in this sport. There is the business side of the building and the football side of the building. The football side is tough love, man. I’ve seen my best friend … Cliff Branch, he had to retire. I’ve seen all of these guys, at some point in time they said I’ve got to hang it up or this or that. You get really tough, thick skin.”
