Former Packers WR Davante Adams requests trade from Raiders

Two years after being traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Las Vegas Raiders, All-Pro receiver Davante Adams is hoping to be moved via trade again. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Adams informed the Raiders that he would prefer to be traded.

According to reporting from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Raiders are willing to accept offers for Adams, including 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 will, barring a trade) opt out of the deal as early as this upcoming offseason, making a trade increasingly possible.

The Packers rebuilt the receiver position through the draft and are not going to trade for an aging wide receiver. So where could Adams be traded? A reunion with Aaron Rodgers in New York is a possibility. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen could use help at receiver. A potential nightmare landing spot for the Packers is Detroit, where Adams would team up with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams and give the Lions a great trio of receivers.

Adams, a second-round pick of the Packers in the 2014 draft, caught 18 passes for 209 yards and a touchdown during the Raiders’ first three games of 2024. He missed Week 4 with a hamstring injury.

Adams has caught more than 100 passes and 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 2022. During 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 exchange 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.
