As the NFL trade deadline gets closer and closer, some front offices will probably face tests of their conviction. It's one thing to say that a player isn't for sale; it's another when an opposing general manager calls with a concrete solution to a less-than-ideal situation.That's where the Las Vegas Raiders could find themselves after Davante Adams' Monday Night Football outing.
Even if he isn't speaking about leaving town, making those sorts of comments on the eve of the trade deadline isn't ideal.While it's generally expected that the Raiders won't move Adams, it would be understandable if Monday night planted a doubt in the organization's collective mind.Having one of the game's top receivers is well and good, but you need to throw the ball in his direction.
