From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Adams bought a 12 mil. house in vegas in february, before the start of FA, the draft, he had made up his mind he wasn't going to be here no matter what was done
He didn't buy the house until after he was traded.
he bought the house the end of February, so I disagree.
Yeah I seem to remember that the Adams deal didn't get done because they wanted to get Rodgers done first, which means he wanted a new deal back in 2020, but they put him on hold for Rodgers. That was the time to lock him up.
In retrospect, we should have kept Adams, the real MVP, and dealt Rodgers away. I can't really fault the FO on that one, though. QB should usually take priority over WR, nothing disrespectful about that (especially after the last two seasons AR had). Then they offered even more money than he ended up signing for in Oakland, not an offer you make if you don't respect the player very highly, but by then I think Adams had made up his mind.
Knowing what I know now, I wish they did it all differently, but their reasons -- given what we knew at the time -- were sound. The "fault" may still lie with them by definition, good reasons or not, but it feels somewhat unfair to slam them for how they handled it.
Rodgers could have gone about things differently and not caused the situation in the first place, and maybe he'd still have his WR1.

and there are more, you purposely glossed by these and others to try and prove he bought after the trade, these show that he bought prior to being traded, obviously he was not interested in staying here to finish his career.
the link you posted say HAS bought a house, my links show that he did buy the house dated march 4th.
I stand corrected then. He bought the house before he was actually traded.

the reason I remember that (thank you by the way) is that it caught me off guard when I first read that march 4th article, but when ya think it over it makes sense for him to leave, Devonte has more gas in the tank then Rodgers would be our starting QB, in fact at the time it seemed possible that we would trade Rodgers, Adams wanted a place to play with a vet QB to finish his career on a high note, Vegas gives him that and also a location he seems content to live in after football, all along I doubted Adams would be here this season.

I was a toddler back then so I don't know.
