For Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, it turns out that 2021 really was the last dance after all. On Thursday, a little more than a week after Rodgers announced his intention to return for the 2022 season, the Green Bay Packers shockingly traded Adams, sending him to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Green Bay used the franchise tag on Adams last week, which would have kept him in a Packers uniform for 2022 on a price tag just north of $20 million. Now he will rejoin his college quarterback from Fresno State, Derek Carr, after the trade and after agreeing to a market-setting contract.
