Packers offered more money, but playing for Raiders was ‘lifelong dream’ for Davante Adams

A couple of things to know on the Green Bay Packers trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders: The team actually offered Adams more money than he’ll eventually sign for in Las Vegas, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, but Adams wanted out and pushed to play with Derek Carr and the Raiders.

In fact, according to Rapoport, it was Adams’ “lifelong dream” to reunite with Carr and play for the Raiders.

The Packers sent Adams to Las Vegas in exchange for first-round and second-round draft picks.

Once officially with the Raiders, Adams will sign a five-year, $141.
