The Green Bay Packers are no strangers to massive trades, at least not anymore.    Last off-season the major Davante Adams trade saw #17 depart Green Bay for the Las Vegas Raiders.  Of course, this off-season was headlined by the franchise-altering Aaron Rodgers trade.  The entire NFL has seen a number of shocking trades go down over the last two off-seasons, could there be one more on the way?  The Packers were named in a trade scenario that would bring back a fan favorite.

Green Bay Packers Named In Massive Trade That Lands Wide Receiver Davante Adams

According to a report by Austin Boyd:

When the Las Vegas Raiders traded for Davante Adams in March 2022, the hope was that it’d be the start of a great long-term relationship. Adams was excellent in his first year with the team, leading the NFL in touchdown receptions, but Las Vegas disappointed and won only six games.

The star wide receiver recently got honest about his frustration with the direction of the team in an interview with The Ringer, leading to speculation that he might want to get traded.

In a video segment called “Packers Trade Proposals,” Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Delray used Fanspo.com’s trade-generating machine to determine whether various fantastical trades had the potential for working out.

In one scenario, Delray proposed sending Adams to the team with whom he became a star, the Green Bay Packers, in exchange for offensive tackle Josh Nijman and the Packers’ 2024 second-pick and 2024 third-round pick.

Indeed, trading Adams “has a dead cap hit of $31.4 million if traded this year and $23.6 million if traded next year, so that’s not in the cards right now,” according to a May 19 story by The Athletic’s Vic Tafur.

But, wrote NBC Sports’ Mike Florio, trading Adams after June 1 would drop that cap hit to $7.85 million this year.

“The biggest impediment to doing a deal could be the total investment made for what would be one year with Adams,” Florio wrote on May 20. “They Raiders have paid him $42.75 million. They gave up a first-round pick and a second-round pick to get him.”

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo sat down with her Chinese counterpart Wang Wentao in Washington D.C. on Thursday to discuss "concerns" surrounding bilateral trade.

Marking the first cabinet-level exchange between the two countries in months, the U.S. talked about American companies operating in China.

According to a readout by the Commerce Department, "The two had candid and substantive discussions on issues relating to the U.S.-China commercial relationship, including the overall environment in both countries for trade and investment and areas for potential cooperation."

Raimondo also "raised concerns about the recent spate of PRC [People's Republic of China] actions taken against U.S. companies operating in the PRC," it said.

The bilateral exchange between Raimondo and Wang comes as market observers keep a close eye on whether the U.S. will curb American investments into China, as relations between the world's largest economies sour.

The Group of Seven leaders met Hiroshima over the weekend, and vowed to "de-risk and diversify" from Chinese reliance, adding that some of Beijing's practices "distort the global economy."

The high-level talks come as China reportedly conducted inspections on U.S. audit firms in the mainland over national security breaches.

Earlier this week, China announced it will ban some purchases of products from U.S. memory chipmaker Micron — barring operators of "critical information infrastructure" in China after a security review conducted by the Cyberspace Administration of China.

In response, the U.S. Commerce Department's spokesperson said, "We firmly oppose restrictions that have no basis in fact." He said the department will engage with the Chinese government to "detail" its position and seek clarity.

In the release published by China's Ministry of Commerce after his meeting with Raimondo, Wang also raised concerns over U.S. policies on semiconductors and export controls.

"The two sides agreed to establish communication channels to maintain and strengthen exchanges on specific economic and trade concerns and cooperation matters," it said.

Wang is expected to meet U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai during his visit to the U.S. where he is set to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation trade ministers' meeting.
