Davante Adams Reportedly Turns Down Millions From Packers Even After Aaron Rodgers Called Him “Scottie Pippen”

The blockbuster NFL trades don’t seem to stop as Wide Receiver Davante Adams is making into the news. The veteran athlete is now a part of the Las Vegas Raiders. Moreover, he may have also turned down a multi-million dollar offer from the Packers, which is supposed to be higher than what the Raiders have offered him.

Adams has been under speculations for a while as his actions were showing towards a Las Vegas shift to work alongside his close friend and Raiders QB Derek Carr.

This offseason, everyone expected Davante Adams to sign a hefty new contract. One didn’t expect the large contract to emerge out from the Raiders rather than the Green Bay Packers. This raises doubts about how Packers starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers thinks regarding this current predicament.

Davante Adams rejects lucrative deal for Raiders move

Davante Adams seemed to have been tempting to work with the Raiders for some time, and when the opportunity arose, he jumped at it. Although Davante’s agents, Kenny Chapman and Frank Bauer, affirm that the Packers have offered him a lucrative contract. According to sources, the deal was even bigger than the Raiders’ latest deal.

Green Bay Packers have officially sent Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders in another massive deal. While Las Vegas receives Adams, Green Bay gets a 1st and a 2nd round pick, according to Ian Rapoport. He also mentions the WR’s deal, as he gets a 5-year deal worth $141.25 Million.

Davante Adams is now the highest-paid WR in the NFL. Now that the veteran receiver is in the raid, the Las Vegas front may look to extend QB Derek Carr’s contract as well.

Was the Last Dance envisioned?

In 2021, fans thought that this might be Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams’ last dance with the Green Bay Packers. Both athletes didn’t agree to any extensions with the Green Bay Packers at that time. Both players also posted a picture of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen on their Instagram Stories.

It appears to be a connection towards the documentary The Last Dance, which followed the Chicago Bulls’ final championship run in 1997-98. A year after, Aaron Rodgers has committed himself with the Packers in a new deal. On the other hand, Davante Adams had his ultimate time with the franchise, as he is now heading to the Las Vegas Raiders.

As if the Western Conference weren’t already overflowing with talent days after the initial sweep of free agency, the Adams signing adds to the mix. The Raiders had been dormant until Wednesday when they brought in Chandler Jones, and now they’ve struck gold by dealing for Adams and anointing him as the highest-paid receiver in league history.
