What the absolute fuck? Did that really just happen? Once Rodgers signed his deal and the Packers restructured a ton of contracts it was all but assumed they would work out the Davante Adams deal.
Psyche, he’s going to the most stacked division in football. Adams is headed to the Las Vegas Raiders on the first night of March Madness. The NFL is stealing headlines again. Is this even real?
The burning question did Aaron Rodgers know about this. Apparently, he did.
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. https://t.co/YTAxHov0Rj

I’m very confused. The Packers have a backup plan right? OBJ perhaps. It can’t just be through the draft. However the Packers NEVER sign off free agency so it will have to be a trade. I mean, the current best WR on the team is Allen Lazard and he is NO Adams.
Sorry Bondzee, this one has to hurt.
