Why Davante Adams thought Aaron Rodgers was being ‘dramatic’ over ugly Jets breakup
NY Post
Before his fateful meeting with the Jets, Aaron Rodgers laid out a clear timeline to close pal Davante Adams.
The two had golfed on a Wednesday in February at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas, and the quarterback told the wide receiver he would meet with the Jets on Thursday, and then they’d hit the links again Friday.
But a “very strange” meeting torpedoed those plans.
“And he was just in such a bad mood (after the meeting) that he hit me up and was like, ‘I’m not coming back, bro.’ He’s like, ‘This was horrible; they just disrespected me completely,'” Adams told The Athletic.
“I thought he was being a little dramatic at first. I’m like, ‘Bro, don’t paraphrase it. How did he say this?’ (But) that’s how he said it. And I was shocked because I didn’t think anybody had the balls to, for lack of better words, to hit him with it like that. Just flat out — ‘Yeah, I think we’re just gonna do something different. We’re gonna move in a different direction.’ It was shocking, but right from that moment, I knew there was no chance that I’d be back there.”
Rodgers revealed last week the details of that meeting with new coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey, who are turning a fresh page in Florham Park.

PHILADELPHIA — The Mets could be facing another significant roster decision as soon as Monday.
The very early version of Kevin Durant in the NBA was pitched to us as the loyal basketball purist, the ideal small-market personality. He enjoyed playing in Oklahoma City. He might play there forever, right? That was the vibe. In the wake of The Decision, Durant was considered the anti-LeBron James.
PHILADELPHIA — That’s one for each game of the now deceased losing streak.
Why are all the spreadsheet folks, who have lectured all of us for years that teams cannot win the Stanley Cup if they are paying their No. 1 goaltender at least 10 percent of the cap, so silent now after the Panthers have gone back-to-back with Sergei Bobrovsky in the net?
Anthony Volpe struck out to lead off the bottom of the second inning Saturday, extending his hitless streak to 25 at-bats.
Surely it wasn’t selected to make a point or to lament what the NBA has become, but it was, nonetheless, a picture worth a thousand 3-point heaves.
It sounds like Aaron Rodgers has some thoughts on how the Jets went from building a potent 1-2 combination in the backfield to looking punchless on the ground.
The Rangers are holding on to Matthew Robertson.
Anthony Volpe entered Friday in the midst of a 0-for-20 slump, with Aaron Boone saying the shortstop’s swing has been “off.”
We knew the Knicks were fairly close under Tom Thibodeau. But this close? Nope.
