Breaking News: Davante Adams Re-Signs with the Las Vegas Raiders on a Seven-Year Deal
In a stunning move that has sent ripples across the NFL, star wide receiver Davante Adams has agreed to a seven-year contract extension with the Las Vegas Raiders. Sources close to the situation confirmed the deal on Tuesday, making Adams one of the highest-paid players at his position for years to come.
The reported contract is worth a staggering $141 million, with the possibility of incentives pushing the total value even higher. This is a landmark deal for the 31-year-old, securing his place in Las Vegas for the foreseeable future, as well as solidifying his financial standing among elite wide receivers.
Adams, who joined the Raiders in 2022 after a blockbuster trade from the Green Bay Packers, has quickly become the centerpiece of the Raiders’ offense. In his first season with the team, Adams posted over 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns, showcasing the skills that made him one of the NFL’s top pass catchers during his time in Green Bay. His chemistry with quarterback Derek Carr was undeniable, and despite Carr’s departure in 2023, Adams maintained his elite production under new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
The Raiders’ decision to lock up Adams for the long term comes at a crucial time as the franchise looks to build a playoff-contending team in the competitive AFC West. While the team has made several key moves to bolster the roster, retaining Adams provides them with a foundation to build on for the next decade. Head coach Josh McDaniels has expressed confidence in Adams’ ability to continue as a dominant force, and the deal reflects the organization’s commitment to making him a centerpiece of their long-term plans.
In an official statement, Raiders owner Mark Davis praised Adams’ leadership and on-field prowess. “Davante is not only one of the best wide receivers in the league, but he’s also a true professional and a great ambassador for the Raiders. We’re thrilled to have him as part of our team for the next seven years.”
For Adams, this deal marks the culmination of years of hard work and consistency that have made him a household name in the NFL. He thanked his fans, family, and teammates in a social media post, expressing his excitement for the next chapter in his career. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue my career here in Las Vegas,” Adams wrote. “We’ve got unfinished business, and I’m looking forward to bringing a championship to Raider Nation.”
With the deal done, the Raiders can now focus on building around their star receiver as they aim for sustained success in the highly competitive AFC.
