Breaking News: Davante Adams Signs Permanent Deal with the Raiders After Head Coach Pete Carroll’s Announcement — ESPN Reports
Las Vegas, NV – April 13, 2025
In a move that sends a powerful message across the NFL, superstar wide receiver Davante Adams has signed a permanent deal with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to ESPN. The announcement came earlier today from head coach Pete Carroll, who praised Adams’ elite talent and leadership as vital to the team’s long-term vision.
Adams, widely regarded as one of the top receivers in the league, has been the face of the Raiders’ offense since joining the team in 2022. Known for his precise route running, sure hands, and unmatched chemistry with quarterbacks, Adams has consistently performed at an All-Pro level, even through shifts at the quarterback position.
Coach Carroll, who took over as head coach earlier this year, made it clear that keeping Adams in the fold was a top priority.
“Davante is a game-changer—plain and simple. He’s a leader on and off the field, and his work ethic is second to none. We’re building something real here in Vegas, and Davante is a huge part of that,” Carroll stated during a press conference at team headquarters.
Sources say the new deal is a long-term, high-value agreement, ensuring Adams remains a Raider well into the future. While financial terms have not been officially disclosed, league insiders suggest the deal could make Adams one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL once again.
The 5-time Pro Bowler and 3-time All-Pro has consistently been among the league’s top performers, racking up over 1,000 receiving yards in each of the past several seasons. Even amid transitions at quarterback, Adams remained a dominant force—drawing double coverage and still producing highlight-reel plays on a weekly basis.
Reacting to the news, Adams took to social media to express his excitement:
“Locked in. This is home. Grateful to Coach Carroll and the organization for believing in the mission. Let’s bring a championship to Raider Nation.”
The signing of Adams marks a statement of intent from the Raiders—under Pete Carroll’s leadership, the team is focused not only on rebuilding but competing now. Pairing Adams with a developing offensive unit and a young quarterback core sends a clear message: the Raiders are serious about winning.
As the 2025 season draws closer, fans can take comfort knowing that one of the league’s most feared playmakers will continue to wear the silver and black.
Davante Adams is staying in Vegas—and he’s not done yet.
