Packers Trade WR Davante Adams To Raiders; He Refused To Stay!
The Las Vega Raiders has just acquired Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams after he refused to play for them after how he was treated…
CelebnSports247.com reports that Adams was clearly angered by the way the Packers treated him coming off a season in which he put up an insane 123 catches for 1,553 yards and 11 touchdowns.
The Packers tried to play their star receiver, but in the end it was them who got played. The tea was spilled by ESPN NFL Nation Packers reporter Rob Demovsky.
Demovsky reports:
A source revealed that the Packers we’re willing to pay Adams equally to what the Raiders are with this new deal but Adams preferred to play elsewhere. Aaron Rodgers was aware of the developments with Adams as they unfolded in recent days.
Now, Davante Adams is officially with the Raiders in Vegas and things couldn’t be brighter for the wide receiver.
