Aaron Rodgers is bombarded with pitches from Raiders fans, Davante Adams calls for a reunion

Aaron Rodgers is bombarded with pitches from Raiders fans at a golf event when former teammate Davante Adams calls a meeting in Las Vegas…but will the Packers trade their QB?
Is Aaron Rodgers trading green and gold for silver and black?
As the Green Bay Packers quarterback competed in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am this weekend, the Raider Nation and Sin City discussed a possible meeting between Rodgers and his former teammate, Davante Adams, in Las Vegas. . Rodgers remains under contract through 2026, but the 39-year-old has been the subject of trade rumors, not to mention the hopes of Raiders fans who would like to replace the outgoing four-time MVP Derek Carr.
“I’ll just say that the predominant team that we hear about as we walk around is the Raiders,” Rodgers told CBS Sports on Saturday after being asked about a possible home next season. ‘… A lot of ‘Davante’ [Adams] misses you” comments. We’re having fun with it.
Like Rodgers, the Raiders originally hail from California, so it’s no surprise that locals call the former Super Bowl winner to meet Adams in Las Vegas, where the team relocated in 2020.
More surprisingly, Adams put his cards on the table during Sunday’s Pro Bowl in Las Vegas, telling the NFL Network that he is actively recruiting Rodgers to the Raiders.

‘I’m here [in Las Vegas]’ said Adams, who spent eight seasons in Green Bay catching Rodgers passes.
‘Hey. Why wouldn’t someone do that? 100 percent,’ she continued. ‘That’s my boy, obviously. Illusions, but we’ll see what happens.
Of course, Rodgers’ future won’t be determined by Adams’ recruiting pitch. It’s up to the Packers to decide if and where they plan to trade their franchise player.
Other than that, the Raiders appear to be in the market for a quarterback after benching Carr for the final games of the season, ostensibly to avoid injury and preserve his trade value.
Adams, who played college football with Carr at Fresno State, was asked about his Raiders teammate on Sunday.
“I control the things that I can,” Adams told the NFL Network. ‘It’s not going to stop us from being very good friends at the end of the day… He may not be my quarterback, but he’s still one of my good friends for life. We are brothers.’
Under first-year head coach Josh McDaniels, the Raiders went 6-11 in 2022.
The good news for Rodgers was that he and Canadian Ben Silverman won the pro-am, which was shortened to 54 holes due to wind. Rodgers will now have his name on the Pebble Beach Wall of Champions off the first tee, something the quarterback called a ‘bucket list’ item for him.
