HENDERSON, Nev. — Pro Bowl receiver Davante Adams said Wednesday he wants to return to the Las Vegas Raiders next season — despite the apparent impending departure of his good friend Derek Carr and an underwhelming season by a team expected to return to the playoffs — and also hopes to be kept in the loop by coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler when it comes to choosing next season’s quarterback.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, absolutely, I wouldn’t have been here or ended up here, originally, probably if Derek wasn’t here,” Adams said in his weekly media conference. “But that doesn’t necessarily mean that I won’t be here in the event that he’s not here. That’s my boy. Obviously, I’ve got his back through anything. I think I’ve made that more than clear at this point. I support him and I support everything that he has moving forward as well.<\/p>\n

“But my dream was to play for this team before he was a Raider, and at this point I want to try to make this thing work and continue on doing what I’m doing here, myself get better and see the team grow and get better as well.”<\/p>\n

Adams, who grew up an Oakland<\/em> Raiders fan in Palo Alto, California, was acquired in a blockbuster March trade with the Green Bay Packers for first- and second-round draft picks and signed a five-year extension averaging $28.5 million per season with $67.5 million guaranteed, to reunite with his quarterback at Fresno State in Carr. The Raiders, who would be on the hook for $40 million should Carr get injured, benched the ninth-year veteran last week for the season’s final two games and instead started Jarrett Stidham. Carr, in a mutual decision, has remained away from the team since last Wednesday.<\/p>\n
