The Las Vegas Raiders have made Derek Carr a happy man. After the Raiders quarterback helped carry his team to a playoff spot in 2021, amidst a ton of turmoil, it appears as though the team is ready to build around him.
And they delivered him a monster piece tonight, when they finalized a deal to acquire Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers.
The Raiders had to give up their first- and second-rounders in the upcoming draft to get Adams, but it’s well worth it.
Not only is Adams one of the absolute best players in the NFL right now, coming off a combined 238 receptions, 2,927 yards, and 29 touchdowns over the past two seasons, but he’ll also be joining a familiar face.
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr used to play with Adams during their days with Fresno State. And it seems like he’s happy to have his old teammate back in the fold. Here’s what Carr tweeted after hearing the news.
