Raiders Rumors: 'Emphatic No' on Davante Adams, Maxx Crosby Trades amid Renfrow Buzz

The Las Vegas Raiders have reportedly rebuffed all trade offers for star wide receiver Davante Adams and defensive end Maxx Crosby ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, any team inquiring about Adams or Crosby has received an "emphatic no" from the Raiders.

However, the Raiders have reportedly had trade talks involving slot receiver Hunter Renfrow "for weeks," although no deal was "imminent" as of Sunday.

Renfrow is just two years removed from a 100-catch, 1,000-yard season, but he has just eight receptions this season, making him the most likely Raiders player to be moved.

On Friday, Renfrow spoke to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, saying: "I feel like I can help. Whether it's this team or whoever it is, I feel like I can help. And I'm excited to do that moving forward."

Since getting traded to the Raiders from the Green Bay Packers last year, Adams has made it clear that the main reason he came to Las Vegas was to reunited with former Fresno State teammate Derek Carr.

When the Raiders parted ways with Carr during the offseason and replaced him with Jimmy Garoppolo, there was some skepticism regarding whether Adams would want to stick around for the long haul.

Whispers of a potential trade have gotten louder amid the Raiders' 3-4 start, but Adams himself has said he doesn't want to go anywhere, telling NFL Network's Rich Eisen on Saturday that he is "happy" to be a Raider:

One thing the six-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro may not be happy with is his usage if it continues in its current state.

While his 46 receptions for 528 yards lead the team, and his three touchdown catches are second, Adams is well off last season's pace when he finished with 100 grabs for 1,516 grabs and a league-high 14 touchdowns en route to his third consecutive All-Pro nod.

Adams, 30, is under contract through 2026 after signing a five-year, $140 million contract extension with the Raiders last year.

The 26-year-old Crosby has been a Pro Bowler in each of the past two seasons, and he is on pace for a career year with 6.5 sacks through seven games.

Selected in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL draft out of Eastern Michigan, Crosby has quickly developed into one of the league's premier pass-rushers, posting 10 sacks as a rookie, seven in his second season, eight in his third and a career-high 12.5 last season.

Crosby also had a career-high 89 tackles last season, forced three fumbles and led the NFL with 22 tackles for loss.

Like Adams, Crosby signed a new deal last year, paying him $94 million over four years, and he too is under contract through 2026.

Adams and Crosby are quite clearly the Raiders' best players, and trading either of them would be admission that they are incapable of vying for a playoff spot this season and in the next few seasons to come.

While the Raiders may not prove to be a playoff team in 2023, Adams and Crosby are players they can build around in hopes of making a run in 2024 and beyond.
