Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante
Adams reportedly will sit out Thursday night's Week 8 game against
the Arizona Cardinals after being placed on the.
An Aaron Rodgers retirement rumor made its way to several Las Vegas sportsbooks Friday all while the unbothered Green Bay Packers quarterback was yukking it up with a teammate on social media.
That’s a perfect encapsulation of the drama that has followed Rodgers since reports of his unhappiness with the Packers organization surfaced in April.
Just six months after coming one game shy of a Super Bowl berth, the Packers’ offseason is shaping up to be nothing short of an outright disaster. Rodgers, the 2020 MVP and PFF’s highest-graded quarterback, failed to show up for the spring’s offseason workout program and mandatory minicamp then recently turned down a massive contract extension, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Packers last drafted a first-round wide receiver in 2002 Javon Walker but they may have been prepared to pull the trigger this year. The Ravens, at least, viewed that as likely to take place.
