Former Dallas Cowboys star Dez Bryant stirred up speculation about a potential blockbuster trade, expressing his thoughts on the possibility of Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams joining the Cowboys.
It’s no secret that Adams is becoming increasingly frustrating in Vegas, leading many to wonder if he could potentially be on the trade block.
The initial Dallas spark came from a post by Cowboys Report’s Tom Downey, where an unattributed quote suggested Adams might be interested in making a move to America’s Team.
Intrigued fans sought clarification from Bryant, who disclosed that his sources had indicated Adams was deemed “too expensive” for the Cowboys.

Bryant had previously tagged Adams in a tweet, adding the word “Cowboys” with a pair of eyeball emojis, prompting fans to dream of the possibility of Adams wearing the Star.

Despite the rumors, there have been no verified reports establishing any concrete links between Adams and the Cowboys.
Despite his unhappiness with the Raiders, there doesn’t seem to be any indication that they’re going to be sellers at the Halloween trade deadline.
At 3-3, Vegas is still very much in the thick of things.
They’re battling through injuries, especially at the quarterback position … Adams’ public complaining has been a constant storyline.
“When you’re a player like me, mentally, my benchmark is not wins and losses – it’s greatness. So when I go out there, I expect to be able to have that ability to put that on tape and have an influence on the game. That’s my purpose for being here … I’m not here just to hang out. I came here to win and to do it the right way,” Adams told ESPN.

The bottom line is making public comments like that don’t do any good for a team … Adams should know better.

What do you think will end up happening with Adams?
Will the Raiders trade him? … Should they?
If he ends up staying put, will he EVER be happy in Vegas???
