The Las Vegas Raiders find themselves in a (very) similar spot to the New England Patriots — six years ago — which former head coach and eight-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick explained from first-hand experience.
Davante Adams, who hasn’t made an appearance since Week 3, wants out of Las Vegas. The New York Jets and New Orleans Saints reportedly lead the forefront of trade rumors so far. When analyzing the situation from afar, Belichick drew a parallel to the 2018 season when New England parted ways with then-backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo — the Patriots traded Garoppolo to the San Francisco 49ers.
