GREEN BAY, Wis. – Had Aaron Rodgers been committed to being the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback for the long term, Davante Adams might have signed a long-term contract to stay in Green Bay.
Instead, with the 38-year-old Rodgers uncertain about his future, Adams took in the bigger picture and was granted a trade to Las Vegas. With the Raiders – his childhood favorite team – he was reunited with his college quarterback and close friend, Derek Carr, and got to play closer to his family.
“He was aware of where I stood, and I was aware of where he stood,” Adams told beat reporters in Las Vegas on Thursday.
