Davante Adams forced a trade from the Packers to the Raiders this offseason because he wanted to play with Derek Carr.

Adams even bought a house next to Carr in Las Vegas.

Unfortunately, Carr has been benched for the rest of the regular season, and it appears that he will be parting ways with the team in the near future.

The Las Vegas Raiders are benching Derek Carr, the team’s starting quarterback since 2014, first-year coach Josh McDaniels announced Wednesday.

Jarrett Stidham, acquired in an offseason trade from the New England Patriots, will start against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium, and undrafted rookie free agent Chase Garbers will be the backup.

However, a source confirmed to ESPN that Carr and the Raiders agreed that he will step away from the team for the remainder of the regular season so he’s not a distraction. He was the lone active Raiders player not to practice on Wednesday, with the team listing his absence as “not injury related, personal.”

“The two sides talked about it and thought it was best,” the source said

Adams was asked about the Carr benching and he showed support for his friend and QB.

“I don’t think anybody was excited about it in here,”. “I wouldn’t be here right now if he wasn’t here. I think everybody knows how I feel about him. … Obviously, I support my guy.”

“I’m not going to sit here and go on and on, but obviously I support my guy,” “We’ve got to finish this season out the best way we can possible with all things considered at this point. Anything else that you guys got, you can leave that for coach or for Derek.”
