Davante Adams signed a record $141.25 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 29-year-old receiver joined the Raiders on Friday.

What happened?

The Green Bay Packers traded Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2022 first- and second-round pick.

The Raiders announced the trade on Friday. Adams will receive a new contract worth $141.25 million over five years.

Why it matters for Davante Adams

Adams wanted to play with the Raiders, his agents confirmed to Ian Rapoport. He will reunite with former college teammate Derek Carr.

The duo spent the 2012 and 2013 seasons together at Fresno State. Adams totaled over 3,000 yards for 38 receiving touchdowns.

What comes next?

The Packers have a large void at receiver with Adams gone. Randall Cobb and Amari Rodgers are among those under contract.

Allen Lazard received a second-round tender as a restricted free agent. Marquez Valdes-Scantling is an unrestricted free agent.

The Packers have been involved in the receiver market over the past week. They are expected to continue their pursuit, according to Adam Schefter.

Adams placed himself in the conversation as the league's top receiver during his Packers tenure. He made five straight Pro Bowls.

He was selected as a first-team All-Pro in each of the last two campaigns. Adams recorded a career-high 123 receptions and 1,553 receiving yards last season.

Derek Carr welcomed Adams to the team on Twitter shortly after the trade was reported. Adams said last offseason that it would be a dream to play with Carr again.

The Packers franchise tagged Adams earlier this month. They offered more money than Las Vegas ultimately handed him.

Adams' departure from the Packers comes days after the announcement of Aaron Rodgers' new deal. The quarterback negotiated his three-year, $150.8-million extension.

Rodgers was aware that Adams wouldn't play for Green Bay again, Rapoport reports. Adams' $28.25-million average annual salary will be the highest among receivers.

It surpasses Arizona Cardinals wideout DeAndre Hopkins' $27.25 million, according to Spotrac. The trade was announced on Friday.

The Raiders signed Adams to a record deal. He becomes the highest-paid receiver in the NFL.

Adams will play with the Raiders for the next five years. His contract is worth $141.25 million.
