Two years after being traded from the Green Bay Packers to Las Vegas Raiders, All-Pro receiver Davante Adams is once again hoping to be moved via trade. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Adams informed the Raiders he would prefer to be traded.
Per reporting from Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Raiders are willing to entertain offers for Adams that include a second-round pick and additional compensation.
Adams, who turns 32 in December, is under contract through the 2026 season, but the Raiders could (and likely would, barring a trade) get out of the deal as early as this upcoming offseason, making a trade increasingly possible.
The Packers rebuilt the receiver position via the draft and aren’t going to be trading for an aging wide receiver. So, where could Adams be traded? A reunion with Aaron Rodgers in New York is possible. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen could use receiver help. A potential nightmare landing spot for the Packers is in Detroit, where Adams would team with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and give the Lions a terrific trio of receivers.
Adams, a second-round pick of the Packers in the 2014 draft, caught 18 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown over the Raiders’ first three games of 2024. He missed Week 4 with a hamstring injury.
Adams has caught over 100 passes and gone over 1,000 receiving yards in four straight seasons and five of the last six. He led the NFL in touchdown catches with 14 during his first season with the Raiders in 2022.
The Packers traded Adams to the Raiders in March of 2022. Over eight seasons with the Packers, Adams caught 669 passes for 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns. The Packers received a first- and second-round pick in return for Adams.
Adams is a six-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro. He led the NFL in receiving touchdowns in 2020 and was an All-Pro in both 2020 and 2021 while with the Packers.
