Davante Adams Wants To Play With Tom Brady, Says He's ‘Better Than Half These Dudes In The League’

Davante Adams wants to play with Tom Brady — and he doesn't even care how old he is.

During a recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, the Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver nearly jumped out of his seat at the (hypothetical) suggestion of Brady coming out of retirement.

"Tom Brady, would you ev-…how old is Brady?" Sharpe began.

"Hell yes," Adams interjected, not even letting Sharpe finish the question. "When you said ‘Tom Brady,’ I knew what you’re saying ‘lemme see what he’s about to say,’ and then you got to talking about how old he is.

"I don’t care."

"You would take Tom at 57, 58?" Sharpe then asked.

"58!" Adams answered. "Tom knows how I feel about him, man. The other part about it is, I think I’d be the first person to play with Tom and Aaron [Rodgers]. So that’d be pretty cool.

"I mean, he's getting older, but he's still got to be able to throw it better than half these dudes in the league at this point."

Davante Adams Desperately Wants A QB

Without saying it directly, Adams seems to be suggesting he'd rather play with a nearly 60-year-old Brady (he's 46 now) than the quaterbacks he's working with now: Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew.

Over the past year, Adams has repeatedly expressed his frustration with Las Vegas' offense.

The Raiders acquired Adams from the Packers in 2022 and then signed him to a five-year, $140 million contract extension. At the time, the six-time Pro Bowler was thrilled to work with his longtime friend and former Fresno State teammate Derek Carr. In fact, he said Carr was the reason he became a Raider in the first place.

But the Raiders traded away Carr last off-season, and — after an organization-wide personnel shake-up — it's now O'Connell and Minshew battling for the QB1 spot heading into Training Camp.

As for Tom Brady, he agreed to terms on a deal to become a minority owner of the Raiders in May 2023. The sale has yet to become official, but NFL commissioner Roger Goodell recently said the deal is making progress.
