The Green Bay Packers parted ways with Davante Adams two seasons ago, a decision that initially surprised many. However, it became apparent afterward that Adams and the Packers were ready to move on. Adams was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for multiple high-value draft picks.
Since joining the Raiders, Adams’ tenure has been marked by a lack of success, with the team failing to make the playoffs in both seasons and undergoing significant changes at the quarterback position. Now, in an effort to revitalize their offense, the Raiders have hired Luke Getsy, a former offensive coordinator for both the Bears and the Packers, as their new offensive coordinator under head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco.
Adams, who worked closely with Getsy for seven seasons in Green Bay, expressed his enthusiasm about reuniting with him. He stated that he is “really excited” to work with Getsy again, citing their past success together and familiarity with each other’s working styles.
Adams emphasized Getsy’s openness to input from veteran players and his innovative approach to offense, highlighting the importance of maintaining a balanced run-pass ratio, which aligns with the West Coast style of offense that Adams is accustomed to. He expressed eagerness to adapt to a new system under Getsy’s guidance, believing it will be beneficial for him and his teammates.
Despite some uncertainties surrounding Getsy’s appointment, key figures within the Raiders organization, such as Pierce and Meyers, are optimistic about the team’s future prospects. They are looking forward to embracing Getsy’s leadership as they prepare for the upcoming 2024 season.
