There are arguments to be made on both sides of the huge trade between the Packers and Raiders that sent Davante Adams to Las Vegas and made him the league’s highest paid receiver. In fact, it’s certainly possible the deal makes sense for both sides of the trade.
The Packers get the Raiders’ first and second round picks in this year’s draft in the deal. The Raiders get Adams coming off his second All Pro nod to reunite with Derek Carr who was his QB at Fresno State.
Where the criticism of the trade comes into play from the Raiders’ side of the deal is giving a five-year, $141.25 million deal to a receiver who is approaching 30 years of age.
