Rodgers Says He Didn’t ‘Recruit’ Adams to Stay With Packers

Nearly three months have passed since the Packers traded wide receiver Davante Adams to the Raiders.

In the move, Adams earned a new contract worth $141.25 million over five years, earning $28.25 million a season and becoming the NFL’s highest-paid wide receiver. Adams’s trade to Las Vegas was one that left many shocked due to the close relationship between the star wideout and quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

However, when Rodgers was asked asked if he tried to recruit Adams into staying in Green Bay before the blockbuster trade, the four-time MVP said while the two were in constant contact, he didn’t try and recruit his favorite target to stay in Green bay.
