With the Raiders benching Derek Carr, Dan Orlovsky told WEEI yesterday that he feels this could be the beginning of the Raiders moving on from Carr. If that's the case, Davante Adams could want out. He has made it clear Carr is the reason he went to Las Vegas in the first place. If the Raiders do move on from Carr, could the Patriots make a run at Adams?
