ESPN and NFL Network reported that the Raiders will receive a conditional third-round draft pick that could turn into a second-round draft pick.

Adams requested a trade from the Raiders earlier this month as his angry behavior became more apparent on game days. He sat out the last few games with Las Vegas with a hamstring injury while the team switched from Gardner Minshew to Aidan O’Connell as the starting quarterback.

Las Vegas acquired Adams from the Green Bay Packers before the start of the 2022 season, ending his time with Aaron Rodgers, now the Jets’ quarterback. In his first year with the Raiders, he had a Pro Bowl season and led the NFL in touchdown catches (14).

But as the Raiders changed coaches, quarterbacks and offensive strategies, Adams did his best to be his best. In 2023, he had 103 catches for 1,144 yards and eight touchdown catches. He was not selected for the Pro Bowl

This season, Adams has 18 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown.

Rodgers and Adams developed a great relationship in Green Bay. From 2017 to 2021, Adams was a Pro Bowler and was named First Team All-Pro twice.
