A lot of players who come to the Raiders say it’s been a dream of theirs to suit up in Silver & Black. But it usually just kind of seems like something they say because that’s the team they now play for. Lip service, if you will. But when Davante Adams says it, he can prove it.
The All Pro receiver signed with the Raiders on a deal that made him the highest paid non-QB in the NFL. But that was market value for him as the best receiver in the league. He actually received a deal from the Packers that his agents say was more lucrative than the one he got from the Raiders, but chose the Raiders instead.
Why? Because, as NFL media’s Ian Rapoport tells it, it was Adams’s lifelong dream to play for the Raiders.
