After the Green Bay Packers franchise tagged Davante Adams, Adams told the Packers he will not be playing under the franchise tag leading to speculation that Adams last game as a Packer has already been played. After Aaron Rodgers and Davante both posted a picture on Instagram of the hidden meaning “The Last Dance” there were many media members and former Green Bay players also speculating that Adams, Rodgers and the Packers were not all going to return next season and that has come to fruition.
After Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed a mega 3 year extension worth $150 million dollars and Green Bay already having cap issues the Packers had to know deep down Davante Wanting to also get a record setting deal meant Adams was most likely going to be the odd man out, Turns out he was. Thursday night Green Bay told Davante to pack his bags as he was now a Las Vegas Raider and in the same night the Raiders and Davante Signed a record breaking deal for a wide receiver at 141.25 million over the next 5 years which some to 28.25 million a season on average, Las Vegas definitely paid for the top wide receiver giving up a first and second round pick in this upcoming 2022 NFL draft.
Adams, the now Raider, will be catching passes from Derek Carr, who was a former college teammate but there will be no easy road for the Raiders as the AFC West is now the toughest division in the NFL by far.
