Raiders News: Davante Adams Explains Decision To Leave Packers

June 15, 2022 by Raiders Nation

Davante Adams, Raiders

It was a dream come true for the Silver and Black faithful when the team traded for Davante Adams.

Adams always seemed destined to play for the organization, and it was made a reality when the Las Vegas Raiders landed him in a blockbuster deal from the Green Bay Packers. Adams reunites with college teammate Derek Carr and transforms the Raiders into an elite passing attack.

The star receiver has always been tethered to Aaron Rodgers, and he revealed that the two had an understanding about his departure via Myles Simmons of ProFootballTalk:

“[ Rodgers and I] talked throughout the whole process,” Adams said in his press conference. “He was aware of where I stood and I was aware of where he stood. And we had talks. Just like what he said the other day, we had talks about his future and what he thinks his duration in Green Bay or just football in general would look like.

“And that played into my decision as well because where I am in my career — and this isn’t a shot at any other quarterbacks in Green Bay. I love Jordan Love especially, he’s a great guy. But I’ve got aspirations of doing really, really big things and being remembered. And it just wasn’t really a point in my career that I was willing to sacrifice Aaron not being there after a year or two. So my decision was to be here and he respected that, he understood that.”

Adams also explained that even though Green Bay offered him more money, being closer to his family was a priority:

“You guys have heard Green Bay offered this which is higher than what I was [going to make with the Raiders] and all of that. And, yeah, I’ll say it, it was true . OK, it was true,” Adams said. “But there’s much more that goes into it. And family is a big part of it for me. So, geographically being here, it makes it a lot easier for me to stay connected to my family year-round.”

It sounds like Adams really wanted to be back on the West coast, and it is hard to blame him. Either way, Raiders fans are lucky to have him, and he will surely be a joy to watch throughout the 2022 season.
