However, addressing the media before the Week 1 clash at the Los Angeles Chargers, the 31-year-old said that was “bulls—“.

“At the end of the day, the facts are the facts and that is not a fact,” Adams said.

“I’ve probably spoken to DeSean Jackson maybe three or four times in my life, and I never had a conversation with him [about this], ever. And I put that on my kids. I’ve never spoken to him about anything.

“If it ain’t from the horse’s mouth, it’s probably bulls—.”

Adams is entering his third season with the Raiders and looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2023 campaign in which he managed 1,144 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.

Jackson told ‘The Herd with Colin Cowherd’ on August 27: “This one’s tough because me and Davante, we’ve talked and man, I hate to do it, I don’t want to be the guy that’s like, ‘Oh, DJax said this and said that.’ But at the end of the day, he is unhappy.”

Adams said his presence throughout training camp was proof he was not unhappy.

He added: “In terms of me being upset or not being happy in this organization, it’s just a bunch of BS that’s just meant to throw everybody off and get clickbait.

“Everybody wants to see what Davante Adams got to say, and, you know, he’s pissed off in Vegas. If I was pissed off, I mean, I wouldn’t be here right now.

“I don’t think that y’all standing in front of me [are] getting the vibe that I want to leave this place. And if you do, then you’re just feeding into the bulls— that they’re feeding you all out there. And that’s not reality.”
