Done deal.. this is the cost of paying an aging quarterback 150 million in 3 years

They have a void to fill now though. I'd see what they would offer for Parker. Or even Big Mike. The Raiders pick at 22, so they might be able to get a decent rookie, but they can't rely on a vet plus some junk, which is all they have atm.
Edit: It's apparently NOT two first rounders according to ESPN, but two picks in this draft including their first, #22. The other pick isn't known. Also, apparently Adams was offered a contract by GB similar to what the Raiders are going to offer but Adams said no, and that he wanted out. Rogers was aware of this as well. -
He gets to reunite with Carr, they were teammates at Fresno and destroyed records together.
the Oakland Raiders replaced Henry Ruggs with the top receiver in the NFL -
Yeah, there are going to be some insane games played within that division this year. Just an amazing collection of talent on every team and the Raiders are STILL probably the LEAST team in the AFCWest.
No idea what the Packers are doing though, it almost seems like they locked Rodgers in for a couple years and then are going to cripple the team around him just out of spite.dolphin25 likes this. -

It just feels like the Packer front office just didn't want to be bothered. They can draft a WR AND a QB in this draft though with the extra picks. That would be hilarious. -
Packers should pick up Julio, Landry and Beckham for less than Adams. At least Landry should be able to play all year but i want to see what he can do with the Ravens.

I'd assume maybe a free agent pickup and then draft someone at 22 as well. May still be able to get a Jameson Williams or Chris Olave there. Also possible they try and flip some assets for a vet. Would make a lot of sense to inquire about those Seattle guys.

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman reports the Packers were "willing to pay Davante Adams as much or more than the Raiders," and that his decision "came down to him wanting out and to play with Derek Carr, his college quarterback."
Alrighty then. It is a little hard to believe that Adams would choose the Raiders over the Packers if the money was truly equal, but Adams indeed had unbelievable chemistry with Carr before Rodgers. Perhaps he was simply over the drama in Green Bay. It's also possible this is a coordinated leak from the Packers, who certainly never gave off the vibe they were ready to give Adams what he wanted. Whatever it was, he is gone.

When I logged on and saw 'Devante Adams Traded....' in the Dolphins section, I did a little sex wee.
Now I just feel dirty, used and ashamed. :lol:
