Aaron Rodgers makes opinion clear on Davante Adams move potentially jeopardizing Garrett Wilson's career

Aaron Rodgers finally heard some good news after Monday night's heartbreaking 20-23 loss to the Buffalo Bills. After weeks of speculation and predictions, Las Vegas Raiders wideout Davante Adams will finally reunite with his former Green Bay Packers QB in New York.

But can Adams prove to be the panacea that can help solve the New York Jets' offensive woes? In Tuesday's episode of the "Pat McAfee Show," Rogers said this about Adams:

"He infuses a lot of energy into the team right away. He's a proven star player. I think he's really gonna help Garrett out. I think when you can be around a guy who's done it at a high level for a long time. There'll be a lot of things he'll be able to pick up."

And now with two star wideouts on the team, the defense will have trouble managing both, but so will Rodgers in choosing who to throw the ball to. And considering he has much better chemistry with Adams, Wilson might lose out on several targets.

"Garett was facing doubles. Now you're going to have choose. If it's a star coverage you want to run - who's the guy you're gonna go with?" Rodgers said.

Garett Wilson, however, did not seem too threatened by his team's onboarding of Davante Adams. He posted the following message on Twitter on Tuesday:

"We gotta GO, and we gotta do it NOW !"

Teammate Braelon Allen tweeted that the team looked a lot like an elite Madden team and had no excuse for losing more games.

Aaron Rodgers addresses fans calling him out for throwing a teammate under the bus

Pat McAfee also asked Aaron Rodgers why he called out wideout Mike Williams for his game-sealing interception from the podium during the post-game media interaction.

Rodgers clarified that he held himself to the highest standards and expected the same from all his teammates. He wasn't going to shy away from calling a spade a spade.

"I think if you watch my press conferences, I started with myself when I made mistakes," he said. "You know, I got to play better. That's the standard for everybody. I was too vertical to the right side, and Mike needed to get to the red line, which would have been a big gain. So I wasn't calling Mike out for anything other than his responsibility and the details in that play."

Can the Jets led by Rodgers finally make a strong playoff push this season? Or will it still be the "same ol' Jets" after all these major changes?
