NFL Offseason: Seahawks, Packers lead worst moves made so far in 2022

Worst moves of NFL offseason: Packers trading WR Davante Adams

Wow.  I don’t think most of us saw this coming.  Last week, Aaron Rodgers agreed to a massive extension with the Green Bay Packers, and most of us probably assumed that the team would then agree to a new contract with Davante Adams.

The Packers put the franchise tag on Adams, and I think the idea there was it allowed the Packers to buy themselves more time to get an extension done.

However, that’s when the situation seemed to turn bad for the Pack.  Adams informed the team that he would not play on the tag, and perhaps that’s when the trade talks began to heat up.

On Thursday night, he was then sent to the Raiders for 2022 first and second-round picks, hardly a top price to pay.

Adams gets to play with his college teammate, Derek Carr now, and the Raiders finally have a true WR1.

For the Packers, they are now contractually obligated to Aaron Rodgers for the next few seasons at a massive number.  They also did not get a spectacular return for Adams.  However, they now do have two first and two second round picks in the upcoming draft, which is deep at a few positions.

Rodgers’ number one receiver at this moment is probably Allen Lazard or Randall Cobb, which isn’t exactly scaring anyone.

The Packers are now probably going to invest genuine draft capital into their receiver position, which is something Rodgers has desired for a while.

The Packers don’t appear to be a genuine Super Bowl contender now, but with a weaker NFC and NFC North, the Packers should still win double digit games.
