**Adams Reveals Rodgers’ Disappointment with Jets’ Decision**
Davante Adams was among the first to learn that Aaron Rodgers would not be returning to the New York Jets. Following the Super Bowl, the Jets announced they were parting ways with Rodgers after a challenging two-year stint that dashed playoff hopes. Rodgers played only four snaps in a Jets uniform before suffering a ruptured Achilles. While last season’s struggles weren’t entirely his fault, he often appeared as a 41-year-old quarterback recovering from a significant injury.
In a new chapter for the Jets, Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey decided to move on from Rodgers. During a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers expressed his bitterness about the meeting where he learned of the Jets’ decision. Adams recounted their conversation, revealing that after golfing together in Las Vegas, Rodgers informed him of the Jets’ decision. “He was just in such a bad mood… he hit me up and was like, ‘I’m not coming back, bro. This was horrible – they just disrespected me completely,’” Adams shared with The Athletic. Initially, Adams thought Rodgers might be overreacting, but he was taken aback by the bluntness of the Jets’ message.
Adams soon followed suit, being released by the Jets and quickly signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams, who had recently let go of Cooper Kupp. Rodgers, feeling disrespected after traveling to meet the Jets “on my own dime,” described the meeting as lacking respect. He recalled, “I thought we were going to have this long conversation… and 20 seconds in, [Glenn] leans to the end of his seat and goes, ‘So do you wanna play football?’” After confirming his interest, Rodgers was informed, “We’re going in a different direction at quarterback.” He admitted to being surprised by the lack of respect shown during the meeting, reflecting on his experiences over the past two years.
As the NFL draft approaches, speculation about Rodgers’ next destination is rife, with the Pittsburgh Steelers emerging as a potential landing spot, as they currently lack a solid quarterback.
