Packers and Raiders Make Blockbuster Trade
Davante Adams Traded to Las Vegas
In a stunning move, the Green Bay Packers have traded star wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for the Raiders' 2022 first- and second-round draft picks.
Packers' Loss
Adams has been a key part of the Packers' offense for the past eight seasons, and his departure is a major blow to the team. He has led the NFL in receiving yards twice and has been named to the Pro Bowl five times. The Packers will now have to find a way to replace his production, which will not be easy.
Raiders' Gain
The Raiders, on the other hand, are getting a much-needed playmaker in Adams. He is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and his addition should make the Raiders a contender in the AFC West. The Raiders have been searching for a true number one wide receiver for years, and they believe they have finally found him in Adams.
Why the Packers Traded Adams
The reason for the Packers' decision to trade Adams is unclear, but it is likely due to a combination of factors. The Packers are facing salary cap issues, and Adams is set to make $20 million in 2022. The Packers may also have been concerned about Adams' injury history. He has missed nine games over the past two seasons due to injuries.
