As Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers figure out the next steps of his NFL career, speculation has started to run wild. Should Rodgers indeed leave Green Bay, there are so many possibilities.
Recent weeks alone have seen folks connecting the dots to Nathaniel Hackett and the Jets, Rodgers himself ruling out playing for the San Francisco 49ers, and a one-word tweet from former Packers pal Davante Adams potentially revealing more than lets on. (At the same time, perhaps the future Hall of Famer should just cut his losses and finally retire.)
The Adams Twitter tea leaves, especially, seem most intriguing regarding the future of the four-time MVP quarterback. After directly alluding to a potential future where Rodgers joins Adams in the Raiders’ silver and black in 2023, some of the First-Team All-Pro receiver’s likes have been connected to the QB. (Note: Adams appears to have retracted the first.)
During a round of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am this weekend, Rodgers had a hilarious response to a fan asking about Adams pushing for him to join the Raiders:
Fan: "Hey Aaron, I heard Davante (Adams) is looking for a neighbor bro”
Aaron Rodgers: “Tell him to buy me a house with all that money.” (h/t @jasrifootball)pic.twitter.com/hdoOYkO7aS

Is Rodgers just having fun with his former receiver, or is he trying to play it coy, as we’re likely still weeks away from a deal or any meaningful news?
Here’s how Adams responded to Rodgers telling him to help him look for a house in the Las Vegas area:
House shopping is fun…

Here’s how Rodgers would formally address the situation and Raiders buzz in a longer interview:
“A lot of people yelling different teams they want me to come to next year” is a hilarious thing for a guy to say who has a $58 million 2023 option on the table. pic.twitter.com/r5QMKmxnt7

Seeing as it’s only early February, something tells me the latest edition of the Rodgers “will he be on a new team?” saga is just beginning.
