This is a gigantic trade, and that’s putting it lightly. The Packers didn’t want to hand the bag to Adams and he’s now out of Green Bay.
The Raiders scooped him up, handed him a monster contract and Derek Carr now has one of the best offensive weapons in the league on the field with him.

If you’re a fan of the Raiders, you have to be incredibly happy right now. The Raiders have needed another playmaker, and they just got one!
If you’re a Packers fan, I’m sure it’s a lot harder to smile right now, but that’s life in the NFL!

It should be a ton of fun to see what Adams does with the Raiders. I have no doubt he’ll put up some big stats.
