WATCH: Aaron Rodgers did not expect Packers ‘surprising’ Davante Adams trade

Jan. 12, 2026 – 03:56 – It seems that Green Bay Packers franchise quarterback Aaron Rodgers was not in the know about the team’s failed contract negotiations and eventual Davante Adams trade. The NFL world was shaken up in March when the Packers surprised many and traded five-time Pro Bowler Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders for draft picks — including the 22nd pick in this year’s NFL Draft. The deal was precipitated by a breakdown in contract extension negotiations after the team slapped a franchise tag on Adams a week before.
