Davante Adams stirred the pot, buying real estate in Las Vegas as he enters a critical free agency season. Adams has been connected to the Raiders.
The Green Bay Packers are going to be the team to watch this offseason. Not only do they have to wait on the decision from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but their star wide receiver, Davante Adams, is set to hit free agency. If he is set to hit the open market, Adams will no doubt cash in on a lucrative contract.
Take this information with a grain of salt. Twitter account Vital Vegas claims that Adams purchased a home in The Ridges in Las Vegas.

This could mean something, or absolutely nothing. So take this with caution, Raiders fans.
Of course, the link to the Raiders has been around for a long time, considering that Adams played college football with quarterback Derek Carr at Fresno State. Carr said last July that he would do whatever it takes to team up with Adams.
It is not a given that Adams will head to the Raiders this offseason. ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reported that the Packers “will almost certainly” use the franchise tag on Adams, preventing him from entering free agency. If that is to happen, the team and Adams will have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term contract extension.
Whatever happens, keep your eyes peeled for March 8 at 4:00 p.m. ET, because that is the deadline for teams to place the franchise tag on players.
