Boomer Esiason ‘hearing’ about timing of potential Davante Adams trade
NY Post
Boomer Esiason is intensifying the hype surrounding a Davante Adams trade.
While appearing on his daily “Boomer & Gio” show on WFAN on Monday morning, the former Jets quarterback suggested that the star Las Vegas Raiders receiver could be traded in the next month or two.
“I’m hearing — that this is going to happen, if it does happen — somewhere in late August, early September,” Esiason said. “I’m not sure about why it would take that long.”
Esiason, whose 22-year run as an NFL analyst for CBS came to an end in April, shed insight into what he believes could be a path for Adams to reveal he wants out in Sin City.
“Davante is never going to come out publicly and say, ‘I want to leave the Raiders,’” Esiason said. “But you do hear in this wide receiver program [“Receiver” on Netflix], where he does this, ‘I got to get out of here before I get killed.’ He says that. That leads the viewer to believe that he wants out of Vegas.
“But I don’t see him saying that publicly. I don’t see him going to the media and saying, ‘Get me out of here.’ I can see him saying to his agent, much like he did to Green Bay, the same type of thing.’”
