Rodgers talked with Kay Adams this week from Jets training camp. Invariably, the topic of All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams potentially reuniting with Rodgers came up…because, of course, it had to.

It was in this conversation talking about playing with Davante Adams again that that Rodgers wove in the idea of playing flag football in the Olympics.

“I’d love to play with Davante again, it might be in the, you know, 2028 Olympics if they let some of the old guys go out and play but we’ll see,” Rodgers told Kay Adams.

“I want him to have great success – I love him. We keep in contact – mostly about golf, because he’s a fanatic about golf.”

 

Adams played the first eight years of his NFL career with Rodgers when both were members of the Green Bay Packers.
