Davante Adams, the Las Vegas Raiders' star wide receiver, expressed his desire for Tom Brady to unretire and join the silver and black squad, even if Brady is 58 years old.
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams has made his ardent desire known: he wants Tom Brady to unretire and lead the Raiders offense.
In an appearance on "Club Shay Shay" with Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, Adams stated, "Hell yes. You gonna talk about how old he is. I don't care. I don't care. Tom knows how I feel about him."

Adams' high regard for Brady stems from their respective greatness. Adams has led the NFL in touchdowns and receptions since 2018, while Brady has won seven Super Bowls and is widely considered the greatest quarterback of all time.
Adams believes Brady's skill and experience would elevate the Raiders' offense to new heights. "The other part of it is, I think I'd be the first person to play with Tom and Aaron (Rodgers)," Adams said. "So, that'd be pretty cool."

Currently, the Raiders' quarterback situation is uncertain. Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew II are the leading candidates to start in 2024, but neither has proven to be a reliable or consistently productive option.
Brady's addition would instantly make Las Vegas a Super Bowl contender. His arm strength may have diminished slightly over the years, but his football IQ, leadership, and championship pedigree remain unmatched.

Adams' frustration with former Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was well-documented in Netflix's "Receiver." Garoppolo's inaccuracy and inconsistency drew Adams' ire, and he was eventually benched in favor of O'Connell.
There have been rumors linking Adams to a potential trade to the New York Jets to reunite with Aaron Rodgers, but nothing has materialized. Adams remains a vital part of the Raiders' offense, and his leadership and production will be crucial to their success.
If Brady does decide to unretire, the Raiders would have a dynamic duo that could wreak havoc on opposing defenses. Adams' elite route-running and sure hands would provide Brady with a reliable target, while Brady's pinpoint accuracy and ability to extend plays would create countless opportunities for scoring.
The Raiders have a talented roster, but their quarterback play has held them back. With Tom Brady at the helm, Las Vegas could become a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Adams' unwavering support for Brady highlights the team's confidence in his ability to lead them to glory.
