    Michael Irvin: “I couldn’t have done what Davante Adams did”

    It’s no secret that Davante Adams forced himself out of Green Bay this off-season.  Green Bay originally franchise tagged the star wide receiver with intentions of getting a long term deal done.  Not only was Green Bay willing to pay Davante Adams what he was asking, but they reportedly offered more money than Las Vegas did.  

    Davante Adams made it clear that he wanted to go to Vegas to play with the Raiders.  In-fact the front office seemed to know well before he was traded.  Going from Aaron Rodgers to Derek Carr is definitely going to be a change.  That type of change is something is something Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin wouldn’t have done.

    Michael Irvin commented on both Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams leaving: “You left Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes — I don’t know if I could’ve ever left Troy Aikman,” Irvin said — and you could hear him shaking his head through the phone. “I don’t think I could’ve done that.”

    Irvin went on to say in his interview:

    “You can still go live there in your house in the offseason, but I’m not leaving those quarterbacks. Let’s see how this plays out. You’re making $30 million and you can have houses in two places. I think the most important thing is taking care of what’s on the football field.

    They had some great quarterbacks. I’m interested in seeing how it works out with Tua and Carr, but it’s surely not Mahomes and Rodgers. If you make that move, do you shorten the time you’re making $30 million a year because all of a sudden, you’re not making the same impact?

    This is a meritocracy. If you’re not putting up the numbers to support that $30 million, they’ll come for you, just like Dallas did with Amari Cooper and his $20 million. It would’ve been hard for me to make a business decision on leaving those quarterbacks.”

    It’s interesting to see Hall of Fame players take this stance

    While Michael Irvin made it clear that he was happy for both of these wide receivers got their pay day, he was on the side of staying with the better quarterback.  Adams and Hill both left arguably the two best quarterbacks in the game over a few million dollars and personal reasons.  It still doesn’t make sense to even some Hall of Famers.
