Davante Adams Rumors: Ex-Packers WR Asked for Raiders Trade Shortly After 2021 Season

Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams reportedly requested a trade shortly after the 2021 season came to a close, according to USA Today's Tom Silverstein.

He reportedly made it clear that his desire was to play with Derek Carr, his former college teammate at Fresno State, and the Las Vegas Raiders.

This report doesn't necessarily come as a surprise after ESPN's Rob Demovsky reported Adams chose the Raiders over the Packers, who were willing to give him the same contract extension.

The Packers traded Adams to the Raiders last week in exchange for the 22nd and 53rd overall picks in the 2022 draft.
