Adams spent the first eight years of his career as a member of the Green Bay Packers with Rodgers throwing him passes. The two became one of the most dangerous quarterback-receiver combinations in the NFL. In 116 games over the span, Adams had 669 catches for 8,121 yards and 73 touchdowns. He made five Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams.
The Packers traded Adams to the Raiders in March 2022 in exchange for a first-round pick and a second-rounder. That deal reunited the star receiver with his college quarterback Derek Carr. With Carr left the Raiders to join the New Orleans Saints after the 2022 season, leaving Adams with an unstable quarterback situation.
Now it appears he's trying to work a trade to reunite with another former quarterback.
