Packers’ Davante Adams discusses Green Bay future, impact of Aaron Rodgers controversy on his ‘plan’

It’s been a busy offseason for the Green Bay Packers after seeing their stellar 2020 campaign derail in January. The goal is to reload in 2021, but they are having plenty of time to put the magazine back into the gun. They found themselves in constant conflict with reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers, who reportedly refused to play another snapshot for the organization and later decided to skip the OTAs. and a mandatory minicamp – in situations that could affect what happened in contract talks with four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Davante Adams.

2.25 million in base salary. And leaving a season that earned him 1,374 yards and 18 career touchdowns en route to being named an All-Pro, the 28-year-old is in a position to get a pay raise soon. It will be with the Packers, but for his part, Adams is definitely leaning towards that.

“That’s the plan,” he told Bleacher Report’s Graham Matthews. “I don’t think I’m going anywhere.”

That was a song heard by the Packers and loyal fans. But it’s not a concrete declaration. What ultimately happened to Rodgers played a big part in his decision. The other will be what size contract the team will throw in.

But to get where I was when I first came here, where I’m with him now. it’s very different and it is a heavy emphasis Off-field experiences and things that bring us closer together. We are now closer than ever. And I think it reflects the field.”

and with such a strong relationship Adams has inside information on whether Rodgers will be attending the training camp. And finally, the regular season is coming. But even he didn’t know what was going to happen. Because of what is broken today, Adams and the Packers can only wait and hope.

“To be honest, I’m not a gambling addict. So it’s hard to say what the chances are. But we’re just praying for him to come back,” he said. “That’s my man. His locker will always be there. I didn’t see him leave and I prayed that he wouldn’t.

“We are all in good spirits and let the chips fall where they can.”
