Derek Carr is already looking ahead to 2022 and how the Las Vegas Raiders can improve their roster in free agency.

The Raiders quarterback has his eyes on one player in particular: receiver Davante Adams.

The Green Bay Packers star is scheduled to become a free agent in 2022, and Carr is already envisioning reuniting with his former Fresno State teammate.

"I would always welcome to play with him again. I think it would unlock some things in both of us that people haven't seen yet. I'm always open to that, and I will be recruiting very hard. When that time comes, it will be a full-court press," Carr said to ABC30's Bri Mellon.

Carr and Adams played together at Fresno State in 2012 and 2013. They combined for 1,312 yards and 14 touchdowns in Adams' freshman season. The following year, Adams racked up 1,719 yards and led the nation with 24 touchdowns.

Adams has continued his stellar play in the pros, leading the NFL with 18 receiving scores in 2020.

"I know that he's obviously the best receiver - everyone said one of the best, he's the best receiver in the NFL," Carr said. "The guy is unbelievable. He's been one of my best friends since we were in college together. I love the guy."
