A blockbuster trade saw the Green Bay Packers trade franchise-tagged wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday. Adams, widely considered the league’s best wide receiver, signed a new contract with the Raiders worth $140 million over five seasons. It is believed to be the highest-ever average annual value for a non-quarterback contract.
The trade immediately caused panic among followers of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders — a division foe coming off of a surprise playoff run — added one of the league’s best players into the mix of major moves that the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers have also made to bolster their rosters.
