After months of downplaying rumors of his desire to change teams, the star wide receiver informed the Las Vegas Raiders this week. he prefers to be tradedas NFL Media reported. The Raiders, meanwhile, are already evaluating the interest of other clubs, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, with the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers reportedly among teams already considering a possible deal.
The six-time Pro Bowler sat out Las Vegas’ Week 4 win with a hamstring injury, then spoke cryptically about his future — and relationship with Raiders coach Antonio Pierce — on the “Up & Adams” show. Adams has also accepted he misses former Green Bay Packers teammate Aaron Rodgers, making the Jets one of several logical landing points for the star broad.
2. Prisco’s Week 5 picks: Jets halt Vikings hot streak
Pete Prisco looked deep into his crystal ball for the next list of NFL action. Here are some of the most notable selections from his full recap of Week 5 predictions:
- Jets 19, Vikings 16: The Vikings are undefeated and Sam Darnold is playing at an MVP level. But facing this Jets defense will be a real challenge. The Jets offense was lifeless last week in the loss to Denver, and Aaron Rodgers will face a tough test from Minnesota’s offensive defense.
- Bengals 34, Ravens 31: This is a huge game for the Bengals. They can get right back into the division race with a win here. Their offense came alive with Tee Higgins back. The Ravens are giving up a lot of big pass plays, so that will be a factor here. In the end, I think Joe Burrow wins it.
- Bills 30, Texans 28: This is one of the best games of the week. The Bills are out on the road for the second straight week and didn’t look good in a loss to the Ravens. The Texans weren’t dynamic offensively, which many expected before the season.

5. Big NFL questions: Wild defense underrated?
SATISFACTION
Jordan Dajani took stock of the entire NFL after about a quarter of the regular season, accusing some. burning questionsand not only that, but offering their assessments of each subject. Here is a sample:
- What should Steelers do at QB? It would be a mistake to insert a rusty 35-year-old Russell Wilson, who has clearly lost some of his mobility behind an offensive line that is now down four starters. … Justin Fields’ mobility has always been viewed as a plus, especially in an offense led by Arthur Smith, but now that mobility is required.
- Where does Jayden Daniels rank among QBs? It’s hard for a young quarterback to insert himself into the top 10 conversation when it comes to active quarterbacks, but Daniels can do it. In fact, he now plays as a first five quarterback. What he has accomplished in terms of efficiency and shown as an athletic playmaker is quite astounding.
- Which defense deserves more credit? By my count, this defense forced 19 punts, three turnovers, recorded three fourth-down stands … and [allowed] just two touchdowns over the last three games. Vance Joseph’s squad currently ranks #2 in yards allowed per game (256.5), and third in points allowed per game (13.8). Sean Payton has never had a three-point defense in his career.
6. Bills’ Von Miller suspended four games
The longtime pass rusher endured a mercurial run in Buffalo, and now he will be out the next four games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The discipline stems from 2023 allegations of domestic assault that led to Miller turning himself in to authorities.
