Raiders' Mark Davis Talks Davante Adams Trade: 'Football Side Is Tough Love, Man'

Trading Davante Adams to the New York Jets wasn't a tough decision emotionally for Raiders owner Mark Davis "because I'm used to it," he said in an interview with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport .

"I've grown up in this sport.

There is the business side of the building and the football side of the building," he said.

"The football side is tough love, man.

I've seen my best friend ...

Cliff Branch, he had to retire.

I've seen all of these guys, at some point in time they said I've got to hang it up or this or that.

You get really tough, thick skin." Davis also spoke about the feeling in the locker room following Adams' departure: "You'd have to be inside the locker room and you'd understand what the message is," Davis said, per Rapoport.

"You'd have to ask them.

But I'm confident that there are no issues.

Yeah, I know the players are OK with it." This article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis.
