Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox predicts that the Packers will trade Aaron Rodgers to the Las Vegas Raiders to play with Davante Adams. In their article, they list off the six “bold” roster moves that they predict will happen. First on the list is Aaron Rodgers being traded to the Raiders and replacing Derek Carr.
Despite calling it an “ill- advised move” they firmly believe that the Raiders will probably send over the compensation that was suggested by ProFootballTalk’s Peter King: “at least” two first-round picks.
This is hardly the boldest prediction, as the Las Vegas Raiders are currently the betting favorites to land Aaron Rodgers. Those rumors started swirling around not long after the Packers traded Davante Adams to the Raiders last off-season and they have hung around throughout the regular season as the Packers and Raiders both struggled. While it’s a deal that makes sense in theory, it would depend on the trade package the Packers would receive from Las Vegas as there are likely several competitors that are vying for Rodgers’ talents right now.
