But players from every area of the roster took their turn, at times in a very passionate fashion, and addressed a variety of issues with nothing being off limits.<\/p>\n<p>Sources familiar with the meeting say players roundly viewed it as cathartic &#8212; a much-needed opportunity to get things off their chest and reset emotionally before the team travels to Detroit for a big Monday night game against the Lions.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (back) set to play vs. Lions on Monday night            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL&#x27;s biggest game-planning nightmares today; plus, Brandon Staley&#x27;s unexpected flaw and Philly&#x27;s trade            <\/li>\n<li>              Week 8 NFL picks: Bengals or 49ers in enticing AFC-NFC showdown?

But Las Vegas remains very much alive in the playoff picture, just one game back of a wild-card spot with 10 games to go.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting came with rumors swirling days before Tuesday&#8217;s NFL trade deadline. The Raiders have had trade calls surrounding receiver Hunter Renfrow for weeks, but no deal is imminent, per sources. They&#8217;ve also received calls on Adams and Crosby, who would command massive trade compensation in any potential deal, but their answer has been an emphatic no.<\/p>\n<p>Adams was particularly vocal about his own frustration earlier this month, saying in part of his lack of opportunities in an offense that ranks 30th in scoring: &#8220;I&#8217;m not here just to hang out. I came here to win and to do it the right way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Asked during an interview on Friday&#8217;s <em>The Rich Eisen Show<\/em> if he&#8217;s happy in Las Vegas, Adams said: &#8220;I will say this: I am happy to be a Raider 100%. \u2026 Winning makes everything much more fun, so we&#8217;ve just got to do more of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/josh-mcdaniels-let-raiders-players-voice-frustrations-in-cathartic-team-meeting-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Sign up for NFL+ to watch The Insiders every Monday-Friday at noon ET for more exclusive reports.
