Former Packers Star “Okay” With Never Playing With Aaron Rodgers Again (Report)

   

The New York Jets may be hitting reset after the 2024 season.  If former Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on the fence about returning, New York may be forced to look to the future through the draft.  Uncertainty is not what the New York organization needs right now.

The good news?  One star could see himself returning to the team even if Rodgers isn’t there anymore.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (17) and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers (8) are shown as they get ready to step off the field at MetLife Stadium, Sunday January 5, 2025, in East Rutherford.

According to Senior Writer Zach Rosenblatt at The Athletic:

Would Davante Adams be open to staying with the Jets if Aaron Rodgers is not here?

“Potentially. It depends on … everything.”

Adams is 32-years-old, and will be 33 by the end of next season.  At this point, winning a championship will come before who his teammates are.  Adams has solidified himself as one of the best wide receivers of this generation.

Here is a look at his career stats:
