Aaron Rodgers Former Teammate Believes Packers Are Still Super Bowl Contenders Even Without Devante Adams

Super Bowl XLVI champion and former Green Bay Packers safety Will Blackmon recently did an interview with The Herd. During the interview, he discussed about Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams along with other developments at Green Bay. It was fun to get his insights on everything that has been going on with the Packers this offseason. 

The host Joy Taylor said that she does not see the Green Bay Packers as a potential Super Bowl contender. According to her, after Adams was traded, it took them out of the conversation. Blackmon disagrees with Taylor and gives his point of view about the situation. 

Are Packers no longer Super Bowl contenders?

Davante Adams was Aaron Rodgers’ favorite target. He was the man the QB liked to make a throw to. Adams is arguably the number one wide receiver in the league today. He always got the job done. But he will not be returning to Green Bay next season. Adams has signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders, and he will be receiving for America’s most wanted.

The host Joy Taylor said she doesn’t think that Green Bay can be in the Super Bowl conversation next season. The Packers are not getting the proper criticism for how catastrophic the end of the last season was. According to her, the Packers just tried to glaze it over Aaron Rodgers winning the MVP award. Rodgers is a legendary talent but not a postseason quarterback at this point in his career. Taylor asked Will Blackmon when you look at the roster other than Rodgers, are they Super Bowl contenders? 

Aaron Rodgers is forced to choose a different target

Hearing the points made by Joy, Blackmon replied, “Absolutely, because they have a top-five defense.” He adds, “The defense was outstanding last year, and they have a really good backfield, and now Aaron will be forced to throw to somebody else. That was the issue in the playoffs like he was just targeting Davante the whole time. There’s plenty of receivers in the free agency. There’s plenty of receivers in the draft so I think they looked at that like, “Hey, let’s just get more talent around, and let’s reload.” Obviously, you cannot get a Davante Adams. That’s really difficult, but there’s a lot of talent out there.” 

It seems like the former Packers’ safety is waiting to see what moves the franchise makes in the draft. That is going to be a big deal in changing the direction of the squad.
