Davante Adams says he still has a good relationship with Aaron Rodgers, but admitted that the quarterback\'s looming retirement factored into his decision to leave the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers traded Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders in a blockbuster move this March.
\"Oh, yeah. We\'ve talked multiple times. We talked throughout the whole process, too, and he was aware of where I stood, and I was aware of where he stood,\" Adams said of Rodgers. \"We had talks just like what he said the other day. He mentioned we had talks about his future and what he thinks his duration in Green Bay or just football in general would look like, and that played into my decision, as well. Because where I am in my career -- and this isn\'t a shot at anybody, any other quarterbacks, in Green Bay, I love Jordan Love especially, he\'s a great guy -- I got aspirations of doing really, really big things and being remembered, and it just wasn\'t really a point in my career that I was willing to sacrifice Aaron not being there after a year or two.
\"So my decision was to be here, and he respected that, he understood that it has a lot to do with where I want to raise my kids, family, being closer to home. ... We\'ve had a lot of good talks, man. He understands where I\'m coming from, I understood where he was coming from, so we kind of just left it at that.\"
