The Green Bay Packers managed to mend their relationship with superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers to keep him with the franchise for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, however, they didn’t manage to do the same with their superstar wide receiver.

According to multiple reports, the Packers have agreed to trade their All-pro wideout Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders. In exchange for Adams, the Raiders will give up their 2022 first-round pick (No. 22) and this year’s second-rounder (No. 53).

Adams, who was franchise-tagged by the Packers earlier this offseason, will also get a new deal as part of the move. He’s signing a five-year, $142.5 million contract that makes him the best-paid wideout in the league. Not only that, but the 29-year-old player is now the highest-paid non-QB player in terms of average annual value and total value in the history of the league.

Reportedly, the Packers were willing to give Adams the same deal that he received from the Raiders and even top it if required. However, the player wanted a change of scenery and preferred to move on. In addition, some believe he was still disgruntled with the fact that Green Bay didn’t give him an extension last season.

The move gives the Raiders an undisputed No. 1 receiver and playmaker that can make a difference on the offensive end. On the other hand, the Packers will have to rebuild their wideout corps that now only has last year’s second-round pick Amari Rodgers and veteran Randall Cobb as viable options.

Davante Adams is coming off a career year in 2021 in which he had 123 catches, 1,553 yards, and 11 touchdowns. He earned his second consecutive First-Team All-Pro nod and fifth straight Pro Bowl appearance.

With $14.7 million per season, Adams will become the fourth highest paid wide receiver in the league. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Antonio Brown is on the top of the list with $17 million, followed by Houston Texans’ DeAndre Hopkins who is earning $16.2 million a year and Cincinnati Bengals A.J. Green with $15 million.

Tying up Adams on a long-term deal is a big move for the Green Bay Packers, especially since he became their number one option at the position in the last two seasons. Even the team’s quarterback, Aaron Rodgers previously said he hopes Adams will get a new deal.

“He’s making a lot of money this year,” – said Rodgers. “Hopefully we pay him sooner rather than later. He’s a talented guy who has just proven it week after week. He’s tough to guard. It’s tough to guard him one-on-one.“

Davante Adams emerged as one of the top wide receivers in NFL last year, when he had 997 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in the regular season, adding 217 yards and two touchdowns in the postseason. He continued to perform exceptionally in this season as well, with 885 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in 14 games. He was ruled for the rest of the season after suffering a concussion against the Carolina Panthers in Week 15.

With Adams getting his money, the Packers have to decide what to do with their two other receivers that get a lot of money, Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson. The word around the organization is that they could be asked to take a pay-cut or even released.
