Raiders Davante Adams Discusses Luke Getsy, the New OC.

Superstar wide receiver Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders told me today that he is pleased with the new Silver and Black offensive coordinator Luke Getsy.

In Las Vegas, Nevada, Antonio Pierce, the Las Vegas Raiders’ decision-maker, has chosen the individual he believes is best suited to lead the team’s offense in the upcoming season. That individual is Luke Getsy, the former Offensive Coordinator for the Chicago Bears. Previous reports have extensively highlighted Getsy’s successful track record, particularly during his tenure with the Green Bay Packers, where he played a role in the success of Raiders’ standout wide receiver, Davante Adams.

Despite some criticism surrounding the move, many observers are taking a more measured perspective, considering Getsy’s positive contributions in Chicago and his previous coaching experiences. At a recent Make-A-Wish event in Las Vegas, I had the opportunity to ask Adams about his thoughts on the hiring of Getsy. Adams expressed genuine excitement, emphasizing their past success and familiarity with each other’s working styles.

Adams also elaborated on the qualities Getsy brings to the role, highlighting his innovative approach, open-mindedness, and willingness to collaborate with veteran players. He expects Getsy to introduce new systems while maintaining a balanced run-pass strategy, reminiscent of the West Coast style that Adams is accustomed to.

Adams wore a broad smile when asked if they had already communicated, indicating a positive and enthusiastic reception of the new coaching arrangement. While some fans may harbor reservations, Adams, along with the head coach, signals optimism for the Raider Nation.

Notably, the Make-A-Wish event, hosting a record-breaking twenty children, featured not only Davante Adams but also Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin.

Looking ahead, the NFL Scouting Combine is scheduled to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, from February 27 to March 4, 2024. Subsequently, the NFL Draft is set to occur in Detroit, Michigan, on April 25-27, 2024, with the Las Vegas Raiders currently holding the No. 13 overall pick.
