All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams is like a savior to the Las Vegas Raiders.
It was evident that the team lacked a legitimate deep threat after Henry Ruggs III was released.
That void helped Hunter Renfrow have a breakout season from the slot.
But with Adams arriving, the Raiders offense could turn out to be one of the league’s best.
Still navigating the offense is quarterback Derek Carr, whom they gave a three-year, $121.5 million extension.
He will reunite with Adams, who he played with at Fresno State.
Therefore, he should have no problems replicating his 4,804 yards and 23 touchdowns from last season.
Meanwhile, Adams will thrive in the offense of new head coach Josh McDaniels.
He will also get favorable matchups downfield because defenses have to account for Renfrow and tight end Darren Waller too.
No wonder Raiders fans are excited and they are making Adams feel welcome by purchasing his jersey.

Journalist Mick Akers shared the list of the top ten NFL jerseys in 2022 based on sales.
Adams is at the third spot behind Russell Wilson and Josh Allen.
He is also four spots in front of Cooper Kupp, the other wideout on the list.
With this list, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a lot of Adams jerseys at Allegiant Stadium in the upcoming season.
Adams Also Raked In Money
As the Raiders earned a lot from the sales of his jersey, Adams also got paid by signing a five-year, $141.25 million contract.
The deal comes with $65.6 million in guaranteed money, including a $19.25 million signing bonus.
He could also earn an additional $250,000 if he makes the Pro Bowl.
After getting financial security, Adams will now shift his attention in helping the Raiders get their third postseason stint since 2016 and their first playoff victory since 2002.
