He said: “The front office think this is the best bet for us right now to put us in a position to be urgent. We don’t see eye-to-eye on what we think is best for us right now. I’m going to have to buy into this and try to be as optimistic as possible. It’s not what I expected to happen, but it’s something that’s the reality now.”
Josh McDaniels says he respects Davante Adams' criticism of Raiders:
"Is it possible that McDaniels has been humbled? He did the right thing because you better not bite the only hand that fed you last year."

According to McDaniels, there isn’t much “drama” around Adams and his comments, and the All-Pro receiver has “earned” the right to express his views.
“‘Te and I have a great relationship, I know he does with (GM) Dave (Ziegler) as well, he’s here everyday,” McDaniels said Thursday. “I didn’t read the whole thing, so I didn’t really know exactly every nook and cranny of that, but I don’t think there’s much drama here in terms of my relationship, his relationship with us, the way he works, the way he goes about his business.”

“I respect the hell out of anything that they (the players) would say or suggest or anything like that over the course of the process of trying to improve our team,” McDaniels said. “I know here Davante comes from, he’s a competitor, he wants to win, that’s his sole focus.”
