Packers enter opener vs. Saints with their 'hungriest' team in years

GREEN BAY - At the onset of the first week in what might become their final season together, Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams gathered their younger Green Bay Packers teammates in a meeting.

They know what is at stake better than anyone in these next 17 games, not counting what they hope will be a Super Bowl run. Rodgers is the incumbent MVP quarterback with a Hall of Fame legacy on his mind. Adams is the All-Pro receiver who demands to be paid like it, but so far has not gotten the offer he expects entering the final year of his contract, leading him Wednesday to say there is “no chance” a last-minute extension is coming before Sunday’s opener.
