While talking about how the trade happened, David states, “It’s something that they’ve tried to make happen for five years now, since Davante signed his contract extension several years ago with the Packers. Derek was pushing to get him there, and Davante was really close. A couple years ago, they were really close to making that happen.”

It seems there was a mutual interest between Adams and Carr to team up in Las Vegas. According to reports, he has previously been looking forward to or even dreaming to reunite with his former Fresno State QB. The desire of the former Packers wideout was subdued by his decision to play out his contract in Wisconsin.
