Davante (if this story is true at all) apparently was too damn (fill in the blank) to have that mindset. I agree, the Packers made the best of a bad situation and handled this pretty well.
Rare in the NFL these days for a player at the top to take a hometown discount, also Adams said being unsure how long Rodgers was going to be there was a factor. Money was the biggest factor, it always is. A big offer can even get god to tell a player to join a team.
