Trade info:
The All-Pro wide receiver becomes the highest profile player on a roster that suddenly has increased aspirations coming into the 2022 NFL season. That speaks to the level of talent that Davante Adams possesses. The newly minted Raiders addition spoke candidly in a report via Vincent Bonsignore about the trade that shook up the NFL.
The player empowerment movement that loomed large over the NBA hasnât exactly seeped in the NFL just yet. Ever since LeBron James made The Decision to jump ship and make an entire spectacle of it, other players have followed suit.
Press Conference:
In the NFL, even a player like Davante Adams, with a legitimate case as the best wide receiver in the league, doesnât have the seismic sway to easily dictate where he wants to go. He opened up more on the slow and steady progress towards getting a deal done and how it manifested itself over the course of several weeks.
Weâve seen it most recently with James Harden, not once but twice moving to a team that he personally desired within the past two years.
Trade details:
Using the Rich Hill trade-value chart, the Packers received 253 points for the 22nd overall selection and 106 points for the 53rd overall selection. Thatâs a total of 359 points, or the equivalent of the No. 11 overall pick.
The Raiders received 203 points for the 29th overall selection, 115 points for the 50th overall selection, and either 25 points (if the Dolphins traded No. 121) or 23 points (if the Dolphins traded No. 125) for the fourth-round selection.
Thatâs 343 points (or 341) in 2022 compensation, a bit less than Green Bay received for Adams.
