Before Jimmy Garoppolo was benched last season, the Las Vegas Raiders consulted Davante Adams to get his opinion about the move.

On the Netflix documentary series Receiver, Adams explained how he "signed off" on the move to bench Garoppolo for rookie Aidan O'Connell.

"Well my opinion on that, was I signed off on that. And that's just the reality of it," Adams said. "You know, I love Jimmy and he's a great guy, but something had to happen in order for us to have a chance down the stretch and in order for me to remain a Raider, in all honesty.
