Davante Adams: Joining Raiders 'A Dream Come True'

Mar 23, 2022 9:50 AM

Davante Adams has called joining the Las Vegas Raiders "a dream come true."

Adams said he and Derek Carr didn't "scheme" to get the wide receiver traded to the Raiders for a Fresno State reunion, but the two did talk a lot.

"It's something we were definitely looking forward to, potentially, doing down the road," Adams said.

"But obviously, me playing in Green Bay, a great situation, having, you know, the greatest quarterback to play the game (in Aaron Rodgers), that's a dream in itself. So, I'll never take away anything away from, anything Green Bay gave me, or Aaron gave me. It was an amazing opportunity to work over there and do what I did for almost a decade. But, you know, things change sometimes. It's not the first time that an impactful player to an organization had to leave. I feel like it worked out for both sides, ultimately."
