The Las Vegas Raiders shook the football world with the vast trade for All-Pro Davante Adams. Adams joins the silver and black teaming up with his best friend, Derek Carr.
Football, Twitter, and the intelligent analytical media were not fans of the trade. Bill Barnwell of ESPN decided to write seven reasons it wasn't worth it. Throwing EPA and PFF grades out the window decided to use fantasy points to point to a decline. The five years $141 million wasn't worthy of the best wide receiver in football.
The reaction was premature before the release of the contract's final structure.
