Seattle Seahawks Land Blockbuster Trade for Star Wide Receiver Davante AdamsSeattle Seahawks Land Blockbuster Trade for Star Wide Receiver Davante Adams In a stunning turn of events, the Seattle Seahawks have acquired star wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders in a blockbuster trade. The deal sends multiple draft picks, including first-round selections in 2023 and 2024, to the Raiders in exchange for Adams. “We’re thrilled to add a player of Davante’s caliber to our lineup,” said Seahawks general manager John Schneider. “He’s one of the most dominant receivers in the league and will be a major upgrade to our offense.” Adams, 29, is a two-time All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler. He spent eight seasons with the Raiders, where he established himself as one of quarterback Derek Carr’s favorite targets. In 2021, he led the league in receptions with 123 and receiving yards with 1,553. The Seahawks were desperate for a reliable wide receiver after trading away Tyler Lockett to the Rams earlier this offseason. Adams fills that void and immediately becomes the go-to target for quarterback Geno Smith. “Geno and I have a great relationship,” said Adams. “I know he’s going to get me the ball where I need it, and I’m excited to help him take this offense to the next level.” The trade is a major coup for the Seahawks, who now boast one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. With Adams, Smith, and running back Kenneth Walker III, Seattle has a formidable trio capable of putting up big points. “This is a game-changer for us,” said Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. “Davante is a superstar, and we’re fortunate to have him on our team. The sky’s the limit for this offense.” The Raiders, meanwhile, will receive a significant haul of draft picks in return for Adams. The team is rebuilding after an 8-9 season and is looking to add young talent to its roster. The trade is expected to be finalized in the coming days, pending a physical and contract details.
