Sources -- Green Bay Packers trading Davante Adams to Las Vegas Raiders

GREEN BAY, Wis. — It turns out Aaron Rodgers' return to the Green Bay Packers didn't mean the same thing for Davante Adams. Just days after Rodgers signed his blockbuster contract extension to return, Adams, his favorite target, left town in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Raiders are sending the Packers their first-round pick (No. 22 overall) and second-round pick (No. 53) in this year's draft, sources told Schefter. That gives the Packers four picks in the top 60; they also own picks Nos. 28 and 59.

Green Bay dropped from 11-1 to 12-1 to win the Super Bowl, but still owns the second-best odds in the NFC behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-1).

The Bears signed St. Brown on Thursday, but now the Packers have cap space to bring back Valdes-Scantling if they
