That being said, Adams hinted at possible trade conversations with him and his three-time All-Pro quarterback for next season:
"You know we definitely talked and it hasn't been a whole lot of talk throughout the season just because both of us do better when we just lock in the moment enjoy our time. We're having a lot of fun this season, so obviously the offseason will determine a lot.”
The four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver further mentions the importance of knowing where all parties stand:
“So, we got to figure out where everybody kind of stands but I'm just at this point enjoying my time with my guy. We're all my guys going out there balling they're trying to get a ring and then you know, from that, we'll see what happens"
Will Adams Have Rodgers as his Quarterback in 2022?
Rodgers is currently in year two of a four-year contract worth $134 million. In 2018, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback signed the deal, but the new contract details did not come into effect until last year. As a result, there were three years remaining on his contract, counting the 2021 season.
However, the deal is now one year less. Rodgers renegotiated the terms of his contract and made the 2023 season into a "void year." This has become a well-liked method for NFL general managers to free up cap space by moving player payments into years down the road.
Of the two, forced to choose, would you prefer the #Broncos trade for Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson?
That being said, Rodgers be a free agent by at least 2023 at age 40 but the Packers might move him this offseason because of his over $46 million dollar cap hit in 2022.
Aaron Rogers, has played his entire 17-year NFL career with the Packers and is second in franchise history in wins, passing yards and touchdown passes. In 2022, there is a good chance Rodgers will be playing elsewhere.
