Adams Ditches a Potential Rodgers Reunion in 2025
There was a lot of hubbub that Adams and Aaron Rodgers, former Green Bay Packers and Jets teammates, could reunite on a new team in 2025.
The chances of that happening just crashed to 0% with this Adams-Rams pairing. Los Angeles re-did its deal with Matthew Stafford to keep him on the squad in 2025.
“I know there was a lot of talk about Davante Adams wanting to play with Aaron Rodgers. He loved playing with Rodgers but this free agency, the first time he has been a free agent, he wanted to be on the west coast, wanted to be with a really good team, with a quarterback who can still sling it, and has a chance to win. That is exactly what Davante Adams got. The west coast kid lands with the Los Angeles Rams,” Rapoport said.
Adams, 32, showed he still has gas left in the tank this past season. He appeared in 14 games this past season, three with the Las Vegas Raiders and 11 with the Jets. During that stretch, Adams finished with 85 receptions for 1,063 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
This is a developing story and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
