Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers, the former Green Bay’s lethal duo, meet for the first time after the franchise traded him to the Raiders. Adams took to Instagram Stories to share a selfie of him and his former QB spending some time together in Las Vegas. Moreover, this picture could also debunk any rumor of them having any heat among themselves.

After the Adams-Rodgers split, fans thought there would be some tension among both athletes. The Green Bay Packers franchise tagged him. But the WR wanted a long-term extension instead of what went on. He will now pair up alongside one of his very close friends from his collegiate football days.

Adams ended up getting signed with the Las Vegas Raiders. He got a five-year, $141.25 million contract, giving him the long-term deal he wanted. Even though the Packers were ready to pay him up like the Raiders’ contract, the WR had made his mind to compete someplace else.

Why did Davante Adams leave Green Bay?

Davante Adams’ move to Las Vegas caught fire just weeks before the trade. Amidst Aaron Rodgers’ contract dilemma, fans buzzed about why he left Wisconsin. At a recent press conference, Adams responded to the question by revealing that he left Green Bay since he couldn’t come to terms with the unpredictability of Rodgers’ looming destiny in the franchise.

Adams mentions, ” I love Jordan Love especially, he’s a great guy — I got aspirations of doing really, really big things and being remembered, and it just wasn’t really a point in my career that I was willing to sacrifice Aaron not being there after a year or two.”

A pass-catching charisma like his can profit not just Carr but the whole Raiders offense under HC Josh McDaniels. Davante Adams wishes to provide QB Carr with the same configuration he used to have with Rodgers. They could benefit from making a significant playoff run and winning a title in the upcoming season.
