Starting from the good news first, WR Davante Adams won’t be there on the Packer’s side. Packers have traded their star WR to the Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas Raiders have signed a five years deal worth $141.25 million, making Davante one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the game.

The Bad news for the Cowboys is that Rodgers is still in the game. Since Rodgers started as a QB for the Packers in 2008, they have won most of the games from the Cowboys. Rodgers has a 7-2 record against the Cowboys and a perfect record of 3-0 for the games played in Dallas. But this year, without Davante, would Rodgers be able to win against the Cowboys?

The news of the Packers trading Adam came as a shocker, as Davante has been their star receiver since 2014. The Packers had drafted him in the second round with the 53rd overall pick. Also, Aaron and Davante had built a strong relationship over the years, which will be surely missed from the next Packers game.

Adams has the most receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns in a season with the Packers. He has the second-most catches (669) and receiving touchdowns (73) in team history, as well as the fourth-most receiving yards (8,121). He’s the first player in NFL history with three seasons of 110 or more receptions, 1,350 or more receiving yards, and 11 or more receiving touchdowns in 2018, 2020, and 21.

Packers have also drafted two new wide receivers including second-round pick Christian Watson, and also added Sammy Watkins as a free-agent signing.
