Davante Adams blockbuster brings more star power to loaded AFC West and huge questions to Green Bay

Jason La Canfora dissects what the stunning deal means for the Raiders, the Packers and the rest of the NFL

Another day, another absolute blockbuster trade made by an AFC West team. Thursday, it was the Raiders landing Davante Adams. Friday? Who knows.

We are only two days into the NFL's 2022 League Year. This arms race is still just heating up. This division is not messing around. There is a lot to digest here, including the dismantling of one of the most robust quarterback/receiver combos in NFL history, a Packers franchise that seems perpetually caught in between due to their past transgressions with Aaron Rodgers, and what could be one of the league's most prolific passing games congealing in Las Vegas, where new head coach Josh McDaniels has an abundance of weapons worth featuring.

In the span of a week or so the AFC has welcomed a plethora of franchise-altering players via trade. A first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback in the making (Russell Wilson), a Hall of Fame pass rusher (Khalil Mack), and now the highest-paid receiver in NFL history, in Adams. That's to say nothing of the Chargers retaining Mike Williams and extending him, and also adding the best corner available in free agency (J.C. Jackson), and the Raiders signing Chandler Jones, who leads the league in sacks since entering the NFL, and the Broncos grabbing pass rusher Randy Gregory. And, well, the Chiefs haven't been all that active, but they kept Pro Bowl left tackle Orlando Brown on the franchise tag, which was imperative.
