@AdamSchefter: Blockbuster: Packers are trading Pro-Bowl WR Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for two prime 2022 picks, league sources tell ESPN.

@RapSheet: Sources: The #Raiders are in the final stages of trading for #Packers star WR Davante Adams, who receives a new contract that makes him the highest paid WR in the NFL. A blockbuster.

Las Vegas sends back a 1st round pick, potentially more picks and a player.

@RapSheet: Davante Adams get a new contract worth $141.25M over 5 years, source say. He gets an average of $28.25M.

@RapSheet: This trade has quietly been in the works for days, with the #Packers and #Raiders finalizing details. The contract extension has been worked out. The deal is expected to be completed, barring any late snags.

Good stuff from Ian Rapoport, no one better at getting it out of 1265â€Ķ

@RapSheet:  While Aaron Rodgers was negotating his contract, he knew Davante Adams would never play for the #Packers again. The situation was too far gone. Something had to give. And when Adams informed GB he wasn’t playing on the tag, talks got fired up. Now, Adams will be on the #Raiders.

Watch them trade Rodgers now

BOOM!

Trading Rodgers is the only move that makes sense to anyone but "THEM," at this point, but THEM is all about winning the NFC North not winning SBs so why not bring old Rodge back to win another one I guess.

When THEM passed on taking a WR in the historically deep 2020 draft and opted instead to spend a 1st and a 4th on a QB it told anyone paying attention what the FRONT OFFICE is really about.

When is the last time the Packers

Packers want to extend Jaire, Jenkins and Rashan Gary over the next two years.

Exactly.

Got to get ready to prepare for the FUTURE, FUTURE, FUTURE.

This was yet another great move to make sure the team remains good enough to compete for NFC North titles.

Let stupid teams like the Rams & Bucs trade away picks and sign free agents like Alan Robinson.

We really needed to create cap space to sign our own.

Tis' a shame that ESB got away after his stellar 4 seasons in GB.

Maybe not too late to thrown some big $ at MVS?

What GB must absolutely not do is break its 2+ decade long streak of never trading away a round 1-5 pick for a real live NFL player ... cause drafting for the future is what has separated the Pack from all the lesser franchises in the NFL.

He wanted Derek Carr over Aaron Rodgers.
@mattschneidman
Source: The Packers were willing to pay Davante Adams as much or more than the Raiders are. It came down to him wanting out and to play with Derek Carr, his college QB. Also per source, Aaron Rodgers knew this was coming and still signed his new Packers contract.

The Raiders gave him 5/141 and change. I doubt the Packers were touching that.

So I call BS on that source.
