Davante Adams Speaks Out On Decision: NFL World Reacts

Davante Adams has opened up a little bit more about his decision to request a trade from the Green Bay Packers. Adams spoke to the media on Thursday and said that he was concerned about Aaron Rodgers potentially not being around for much longer.

After Adams was traded for a couple of draft picks, the Packers ended up giving Rodgers a massive deal to ensure that he ends his career with them. The two sides agreed to a three-year, $150 million extension and it also includes a $40 million signing bonus. NFL fans see both sides to it.

Davante Adams said he likes backup Jordan Love, but not knowing how long Aaron Rodgers was going to be with the #Packers was a big factor in decision to push for trade to the #Raiders.

Soooo he didn’t want to be stuck with Love and deal with an indecisive AR12? https://t.co/8mJqZWHagq

It’s now a year-by-year assessment for Aaron Rodgers and ultimately Davante Adams wanted QB security, among other things. https://t.co/X7mpZe8A8S

He chose security over a longer period of time playing with one of his best friends over the uncertainty of Rodgers’ future and the unknown of Jordan Love.

Pair that with his clear motivation to be closer to family on the West Coast, and it makes all the sense in the world. https://t.co/AgL7waXpBX

Adams will now get to play with quarterback Derek Carr in Las Vegas for the next several years. Adams is coming off a great 2021 campaign when he finished with 1,553 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns off 123 receptions. If he can put up similar numbers in 2022, the Raiders could be a tough out in the AFC.
