‘You Can’t Keep Doing That’: 6x Pro Bowler Says Davante Adams Lacked Trust In Aaron Rodgers Which Led To Green Bay Packers Exit

Star WR Davante Adams will no longer play for the Green Bay Packers. Adams has played eight seasons for the Packers alongside QB Aaron Rodgers. The franchise traded Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders.

The 6-times pro bowl champion Gerald McCoy was recently a guest on ‘The Herd with Colin Cowherd’. Cowherd on the show talked about Adams and said, “Davante Adams says over the weekend, yeah, that’s why I left. He’s like, they offered me more money, but I don’t want to get stuck. And I thought, Aaron, you probably should keep that retirement thing, right?”

Cowherd and McCoy had a discussion on the departure of Davante Adams, where McCoy presented his own views on the situation. He said, “Yeah. I mean, he’s my favorite player, so I kind of have to get biased at times, but in reality, if I’m his receiver, I feel the same way. You can’t keep doing that. I’m about to be locked in here for the next five years, and I want a quarterback that I could trust.” McCoy stressed the fact that nobody would want to be stuck for five years with a quarterback they don’t trust.

McCoy also talked about how the Green Bays’ backup play has not been up to the mark. Also, Players need money, but security too plays an important part when choosing a team.

Adams had started his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers in 2014 and was a ray of hope for many Packers fans. Adams and Rodgers are one of the most popular QB and WR duos in the NFL. But sadly, the two will now play for different teams.

Davante Adams recently signed a five-year $141.25 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. Rodgers, on the other hand, was looking to retire from the league. But instead agreed to a four-year $200 million extension.
