Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams
The Green Bay Packers had a very tough choice to make. Either let their best and most dramatic quarterback Aaron Rodgers go and spread the money around or retain Aaron at any cost and then try to cut costs as much as possible. They took the second option and had to pay dearly for it.
Davante Adams is undoubtedly one of the best wide receivers going around at this point in time. So when he announced that he will not play under the franchise tag something had to give as Green Bay had already dedicated a lot of funds towards retaining Rodgers.

Davante Adams was trying to leave Green Bay for years
As expected, the Packers had to trade Davante to the Las Vegas Raiders who offered a blockbuster contract to the star WR. They offered Davante a five-year, $141.25 million contract which eventually made him the new highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL.
After his deal with the Raiders was finalized, rumors about a rift between Davante and Rodgers started surfacing. There were reports suggesting that Davante was frustrated and irritated with Aaron which is why he wanted out. However, Davante never openly criticized the last season’s MVP.
In fact, he repeatedly called him the best QB in the league. “Obviously, in Green Bay, I had the greatest quarterback to play the game. … But things change sometimes. It’s not the first time an impactful player in an organization had to leave,” Davante had stated.
What comes as another twist in the tale, Derek Carr’s brother David Carr recently revealed that although the Packers and Davante were poles apart when it came to arriving at a deal, Adams anyway wanted out. In fact, as reported by Dov Kleiman, David informed that Davante was trying to go to the Raiders for several years.
Carr also informed that Davante’s relationship with Aaron was professional but nothing more than that. Undoubtedly, this revelation will spark a lot of conversations about Davante’s relationship with the Packers and especially Aaron Rodgers.
