The brother of Raiders quarterback Derek Carr presumably knows a thing or two about the dynamics in Las Vegas. So when David Carr says something about the Raiders, it makes sense to listen.

Appearing on Wednesday’s edition of The Rich Eisen Show, David Carr said that the trade that brought Packers receiver Davante Adams to the Raiders was several years in the making.

“It’s something they’ve tried to make happen for five years now, since Davante signed his contract extension several years ago with the Packers,” Carr told Eisen. “Derek was pushing to get him there. . . . A couple years ago they were really close to making that happen.”

This makes it even more surprising that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers didn’t know Adams would be leaving. It calls into question the kind of relationship that Rodgers and Adams actually had during eight years together in Green Bay.

David Carr added that Derek and Davante have been “best friends,” and that their “unique bond” dates back to Davante’s recruiting trip to Fresno State.

Maybe Rodgers simply didn’t know about any of it. Or maybe thought that, even with that friendship, Adams would never choose Derek Carr over Rodgers.

Regardless, Davante is gone from Green Bay — and he’s finally where he wants to be.

If that were true, Adams would not have signed his last contract extension.
Just like Greg Jennings sister, Carr's brother thinks he knows what was going on.
And I bet Adams will never reach the numbers he had in GB.
And I doubt he has a better shot at a ring in Vegas then he would have here.

Davante Adams signed a four year $58 million extension in December 2017.

If Adams asked the Packers to trade him to the Raiders five years ago, it would have been in the final year of his rookie contract. I have no idea how the 2017 Raiders were at the time so who knows if they wanted to trade for a guy on an expiring contract AND pay him big. Maybe Raiders couldn't come to contract terms with him and thus no deal? Maybe there was some chatter about it and then when Packers said nope, we won't get enough in return, we want you, here's your $58 million extension, sign it and shuddup! haha (kidding, kinda) and he signed in December.

Based on what I've heard Adams say in his press conferences, I wouldn't at all be surprised if he asked for a trade to Raiders in 2017.

I'm sure David Carr has some credibility.
This line is a joke.

Who cares. Florio trying to stir up trash talk like a 13 year old girl.

Also, the Raiders beefed up their Defense again this year. Only tough thing is that they play in the best division in football. All 4 teams are in the top 12 for winning the Super Bowl, and the Packers are weaker and I will go on record and say this is Rodgers last year. (I claimed that in another thread a few weeks ago) I believe they wanted to play together for that long but maybe the Raiders didn't have the money to throw at him.


Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

And I can see the Raiders force feeding Adams the ball to show that they made the right move in paying him all that money.
So yeah, I can see him putting up big numbers I guess.

Year One I say he'll have really good numbers. Then the motivation to show your value subsides a little. And I say he'll have a noticeable dip in statistics Year Two.
