On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:
#1 Rich, former Raiders running back Devante Adams got what he wanted a trade that sent him to the New York Jets for a second and third draft pick.
#2 The deal to get Adams was based on a restructured contract. Details of Adams contract were not forthcoming but it’s believed that adjustments for his 2025 and 2026 contracts are in the works.
#3 Adams who didn’t play in week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers with the Raiders. Adams most likely will play for the Jets this Sunday against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
#4 Talk about some of the circumstances that made Adams unhappy when he was at the Raiders. There was little doubt that he had a falling out with head coach Antonio Pierce.
#5 With Adams joining the Jets there is no doubt the re-union between Adams and quarterback Aaron Rogers is something that the Jets and Rogers are looking forward to.

On Headline Sports podcast with Jessica Kwong:
#1 Former Cal quarterback and Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw a perfect game against the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday when he went 18-18 without throwing a incomplete pass, in a 42-29 win. Goff had such a great afternoon he threw for two touchdowns and caught a touchdown pass.
#2 Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller has been suspended for four games without pay for violating the league’s personal conduct policy for third degree felony assault for assaulting a pregnant woman on Nov 30, 2023. Miller could face two to ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Miller has posted a $5,000 bond. Miller and the woman have been together for seven years. No charges have been filed against Miller. Miller said the case is closed from information received from Miller’s legal representatives.
#3 There is dissension amongst the Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pierce and wide receiver Devante Adams. Adams wants out of Las Vegas and coach Antonio Pierce had liked a social media post that talked about a possible trade with Adams. This should make for a dysfunctional group that could fracture the players if things don’t take hold internally at the Raiders as they head to Denver to play the Broncos this Sunday.
#4 Jessica lets take a look at a couple NFL games from this last Sunday. The Raiders were able to squeeze by the Cleveland Browns after holding a 20-10 lead the Browns in the fourth quarter were able to score six but ended up losing to the Raiders 20-16. The Raiders were able to score in the second and third quarters to hold on for the win.
#5 The San Francisco 49ers after losing two straight games came back last Sunday and defeated the New England Patriots. The 49ers kept the Patriots offense to a low roar the Pats scored only one touchdown and the 49ers scored two touchdowns in the second quarter. The 49ers ended up beating the Patriots 30-13 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara.

On Headline Sports podcast with Michael Roberson:
#1 San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk who is requesting a trade as he formerly made the request on Tuesday. Aiyuk who has one more year left on his rookie contract will be paid $14.124 million. Aiyuk is looking to double his salary with an extension. Aiyuk is expecting to be paid as one of the top six receivers in the NFL.
#2 Aiyuk’s numbers are critical and the Niners are doing everything they can to get him signed. In his second year Aiyuk had a career 1,342 yards in receiving, and led the league in yards per target at 12.9 and finished second in catches with 17.9. Aiyuk has also expressed interest in playing for the Washington Commanders with his college quarterback friend Jayden Daniels.
#3 The latest on Wednesday through sources that Aiyuk who was in practice in Santa Clara spoke with general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan. The three looked like they were welcoming and talks according sources could be in the works. Aiyuk had been attending practices to avoid being fined for not reporting. The 49ers are trying to hold onto Aiyuk and to work out an extension with him.
#4 Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce has made it clear that the quarterback job is for the one who wants it most. Either Aidan O’Connell or Gardner Minshew. “I’d like to see — again, I’m going to keep saying it — somebody to just take it and say, ‘I’m the guy, Pierce told the AP during practice this week in Henderson NV “Make it clear and evident, and then we’ll make that decision at that point.”
#5 Raiders wide receiver Devante Adams said last season you saw raw emotion that there weren’t always the brightest points but said there was also some good moments too. Adams says that he’s in a good place right now and is happy to be in camp with the Raiders.
left to right; Terrell Davis lawyer Parker Stinar, Davis’ wife Tamiko Nash, and Davis sit during an interview on CBS News with Gayle King discussing being accused by a United flight attendant of being hit when he only tapped him for a cup of ice (CBS News still)
On Headline Sports podcast with Michael Roberson:
#1 Former Denver Bronco Terrell Davis lawyer Parker Stinar is considering taking United Airlines to court after an UA flight attendant accused Davis of hitting when Davis and his family were flying from Denver to Orange County to go to Disneyland. Those vacation plans were set aside after the FBI and Orange County Sheriffs slapped the cuffs on Davis and accused him of assault. When it was later found out that he tapped the flight attendant supported by another passenger who said that Davis didn’t hit the attendant Davis was released from custody. Davis and Stinar are considering litigating United for defamation of character and the FBI and Orange County Sheriffs for false imprisonment. Michael did this all boil down to a matter of Davis “flying while black” as it was mentioned in some the interviews with Davis? Davis said, “I certainly felt like that wouldn’t have happened if I were a white person.”
#2 No one thought at least in Indiana Fever Caitlin Clark’s rookie season that she would be able to pull off some record setting numbers but Clark did it breaking the WNBA all time with 19 assists Wednesday night against the Dallas Wings, Clark also had 24 points and went 10-19 in shooting has hit her stride. This is the final WNBA game before the league takes an Olympic break for a month.
#3 Michael how much pressure is on Los Angeles Lakers Bronny James to go out and have a superstar performance each night. Bronny hit a 17 foot shot off a screen, he’s averaging 4.3 points per game with a 22% field goal percentage. That’s got to be a lot of pressure just for being LeBron’s son?
#4 Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell has been getting support from wide receiver DeVante Adams. Adams says that O’Connell has grown. Adams said he should be the starting quarterback for the season. Adams says the chemistry is right and he’s really looking forward to working with O’Connell this season.
#5 The 2024 MLB All Star Game in Arlington drew a TV rating of 7,443,000 viewers which outdrew the 2023 All Star Game that was played in Seattle. The bad news is the 2024 Mid Summer Classic was the second lowest rated All Star Game in TV ratings. There’s always next All Star Game in Atlanta.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:
#1 CBS NFL analyst Boomer Esiason said that he could see Las Vegas wide receiver Devante Adams getting traded. From what he’s heard from the Netflix show “Receiver” Adams wants out of Las Vegas but making the disclaimer that Adams hasn’t said that publicly.
#2 Esiason said that he could turn to his agent pretty much the same way he did when he was in Green Bay and ask his agent to help him get out of Vegas.
#3 Adams had frustrations with former Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Adams said Garoppolo over threw passes, missed him as a target and that he was going to get killed out there because he was getting hit by defenders in trying to catch passes.
#4 Around the time last season when former Raider head coach Josh McDaniels was fired and Garoppolo was replaced at starting quarterback for Aidan O’Connell, Adams was said to be in favor of benching Garoppolo for O’Connell.
#5 Garoppolo was in his first of his three year $73.75 million contract. Garoppolo finished the 2023 season with the Raiders and was released. Garoppolo threw for seven touchdowns and nine interceptions last season. Garoppolo had played six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before joining the Raiders.

Griner could be released as early as July Griner wife Cherelle didn’t get a call from Griner and that there was speculation that the Russian authorities prevented the call.
#3 Daniel Snyder the owner of the Washington Commanders refused to testify before congress on June 22 regarding a toxic work environment. Carolyn Maloney NY-D chairman of the hearing committee gave Snyder a chance to testify virtually. Snyder’s council said that his appearing virtually does not address having council physically present with him. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will testify.
#4 Defense lawyers in the Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs case are asking that his blood evidence showing he was twice the legal amount to drive when he crashed his car into a Las Vegas woman’s car killing her and her dog. Ruggs lawyers say there was no probable cause to extract blood from Ruggs saying the mere fact that he had an accident didn’t give probable cause to withdraw his blood therefore it was taken from Ruggs unlawfully.
#5 Tony the Raiders Hunter Renfrow is coming off a 103 catch season and two seasons ago Darren Waller caught 107 passes and Davante Adams who caught 111 passes in three of the last four seasons will be on board for the Raiders.
