GREEN BAY (CBS 58) -- The Packers will not be receiving a player in the Adams trade. It will just be a 2022 first and 2022 second round pick.

GREEN BAY (CBS 58) -- The Packers are trading star receiver Davante Adams to the Raiders for two 2022 draft picks, including the 22nd overall pick from Las Vegas, according to reports.

In addition, Adams will sign a 5 year/$141.25 extension with the Raiders, making him the highest-paid receiver in the NFL, reuniting him with his college quarterback.

Rodgers recently signed his massive contract, keeping him Green Bay for the next three years.

The Packers are now left with Allen Lazard and potentially Marquez Valdes-Scantling in their limited wide receiver room, who they have yet to sign to a new contract.
