It seems like the return of Aaron Rodgers did not matter to Adams. He chose to reunite with his former Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr. According to the sources, the Raiders traded some premier picks for the wide receiver. They sent Green Bay their first round, 22nd overall, and second round, 53rd overall pick. The Packers now have four picks in the top 60. 

The Packers were trying hard to keep Davante Adams. They were offering him more money than the Las Vegas Raiders. The new deal with the Raiders has made Adams the highest-paid receiver in the NFL. His new contract is worth $141.25 million over the course of five years. Green Bay was prepared to pay more than that. But the receiver showed everyone that he is not chasing money.
