While Tom Brady may still be trying to buy a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, at least one star player on the silver and black is hoping to get Brady back on the field.
Davante Adams appeared on “Club Shay Shay” with Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and expressed hope that Brady will opt out for a second time and play quarterback for the Raiders.
Adams said he would pick Brady even if Brady was 58 years old.

“Yeah, sure. You're going to talk about how old he is. I don't care. I don't care,” Adams told Sharpe. “Tom knows how I feel about him. And the other part is I think he'd be the first person to play with Tom and Aaron (Rodgers). So that would be great.”
“He has to be able to pitch better than half of these guys in the league.”
Brady would likely be the best quarterback on the roster if he decided to put the broadcast booth on hold for another year and give it another shot on the field.

WHY ARE THE COWBOYS THE TEAM MOST LIKELY TO FALL SHORT ON WIN TOTAL IN 2024?
Las Vegas will begin the 2024 season with Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew II as the leading quarterbacks competing for the starting job.
Jimmy Garoppolo was the starting quarterback last season but was benched in late October in favor of O'Connell. Garoppolo missed two games due to injuries and won just three of eight games as a starter. Adams' frustration with Garoppolo's accuracy was later documented on Netflix's “Receiver.”
Garoppolo is now a member of the Los Angeles Rams, but is suspended for two games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.
There has also been speculation that Adams could be traded to the New York Jets to reunite with Aaron Rodgers, but nothing has been confirmed on that front.
