Davante Adams Signs Five-Year, $140 Million Contract with Las Vegas Raiders
Breaking News
In a blockbuster move that has sent shockwaves through the NFL, Davante Adams has signed a five-year, $140 million contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. The deal, which includes a $19.25 million signing bonus and $65.67 million in guaranteed money, was first reported by Pro Football Talk and later confirmed by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Key Details
The contract, which averages out to $28.25 million per year, is the largest ever signed by a wide receiver in NFL history. It also marks the end of Adams' eight-season tenure with the Green Bay Packers, where he was a key part of Aaron Rodgers' high-powered passing attack.
With the Raiders, Adams will be reunited with former college teammate Derek Carr, who signed a three-year, $121.5 million extension with the team earlier this offseason. The duo will hope to build on the success they had together at Fresno State, where they led the Bulldogs to two conference championships and a Fiesta Bowl victory.
The acquisition of Adams is a major coup for the Raiders, who have been looking to upgrade their wide receiver position for years. It also signals a new era for the franchise, which is now led by general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels.
