Wouldn't be surprised at all if he had his sights on a different place last year. Especially if there's any sort of truth to him turning down a similar deal from us. Rap says it was his lifelong dream to be a Raider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly do better than Colin Cowherd. I wasnt making an argument. I've stated for quite some time how I felt about GBs passing attack. I posted Cowherd's opinion for your consideration. You dont like it have the balls to tell him directly. Dont argue his points though (or with) me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I had it wrong .. I kept pushing for the Packers to deal Aaron Rodgers to the Raiders in a deal for Derek Carr and some draft picks, and then resigning Davante to team with his old college buddy in GB. That would have been interesting, but it will be fun to see where the Packers go from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he genuinely loves Derek Carr and Carr is going to play for the length of his deal… Rodgers likely isnt. And let’s be honest… this was his last chance to get his money, he maximized it. Good for Adams. Also it forces the GB offense to evolve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackFan13 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I'll miss him but we made out as well as we could hope given the circumstances. Let's hit on the fa's and draft picks and shock the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 9 minutes ago, smetana34 said: Who are potential trade targets? Michael Thomas, Kenny Golladay, DJ Moore, Brandin Cooks? Thomas just restructured with the Saints and they're trying to get Watson so I'd guess he's a no. Especially since the Saints would eat a huge cap hit if they traded him. Golladay also would be pretty pricey for the Giants to give up and they need Jones to pass to someone. Moore would make some sense if the Panthers thought they couldn't keep him, but they have 30M in cap room this season and 70M next year so I'd bet they'll give him a nice extension. Brandin Cooks would make the most sense since he plays for the worst team in the NFL and they seem willing to trade players. Though you can probably get equivalent-ish players cheaper in both FA and the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 18 minutes ago, squire12 said: ...I would prefer a FA addition and draft 1 WR in round 1 or 2, then a double dip in round 3-5 range. Yeah, that seems a variably likely approach. Kinda depends on how good the veteran addition can be. From a Nowacrat perspective, not sure whether adding an experienced WR via FA versus trade makes a huge difference. That's kind of a scouting question, and hard to guess how Gute might see things.

Shanedorf Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Adams' agents adroitly used the Packers $$ offers to drive up the contract with the Raiders Gute then shopped the Raiders trade offers at the combine to drive up the draft compensation Rodgers was fully apprised - and Adams' imminent departure was part of his deliberations around Retire/Packers/Trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think if the Raiders weren’t interested… he would be a packer still today. I think there was only one other team in the league Adams wanted to play for and I think there was only one other QB he wanted to play for. Let’s not forget these guys are human. Just like Rodgers wanted Cobb back… maybe Adams really want to spend part of his career with Carr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 7 minutes ago, deltarich87 said: Gotta say, I would have never guessed that Davante's life long dream was to play for a franchise that's arguably been bottom 3 in the league the past 20 years and with the 4th best QB in his own division, rather than with one of the greatest quarterbacks ever on a contender if you grow up near LA/OAK and have a family or friends that are Raiders fans, that sticks. Adams has been in GB and there is very likely no attachment to GB or the state of WI for that matter. Adams gets Play for his childhood team play with his best friend in Carr get paid a trunk full of money those are 3 pretty enticing things.
