The 2020 All-Pro has been vocal about his support to Aaron Rodgers. And he’s even said that how the situation plays out between Rodgers and the Packers front office could potentially affect his time at Lambeau Field as well.

“Well, I mean, I’m a Packer, so I can’t really get too far ahead on that,” Adams said“When the season ends and if nothing’s figured out, then maybe we’ll have something to talk about. But those are cautious waters, so I can’t really dabble in that now.”
