The Green Bay Packers shocked the NFL on Thursday night by trading star Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, leaving quarterback Aaron Rodgers with a big new contract but no No. 1 receiver.
The past week in the NFL already had been crazy enough between Russell Wilson’s trade to the Denver Broncos, Tom Brady’s unretirement, Deshaun Watson’s recruitment, Khalil Mack’s trade to the Chargers, and numerous major free-agent signings.
All of that happened on top of nine head coaching jobs getting turned over in one hiring cycle. So the Adams deal thrust the NFL-wide offseason overhaul into seemingly unprecedented territory for a league that now basically doubles as a reality TV show.
