The Green Bay Packers find themselves in a problematic situation this season. After three straight 13-win seasons, it’s hard to accept that Green Bay currently sits at 4-8. There have been trade rumors regarding Aaron Rodgers, and fans want defensive coordinator Joe Barry fired. In addition, some fans even want to see Jordan Love get a chance to start before the season is over. Needless to say, drama is at an all-time in Green Bay.
NFL Exec Gives Reason For Packers Disappointing Season
Patience is running thin in Green Bay. However, one NFL executive claims that the Packers’ problems started before the season even began. The anonymous NFL executive claims that trading away Davante Adams is the main reason for the Packers’ struggles this year. The executive also believes that the Packers may have underestimated the importance of Adams before trading him to the Las Vegas Raiders during the offseason.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the NFL exec said that the Packers “perhaps didn’t realize what their identity was,” which was for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to get the ball to Adams when a big play was needed on offense. Green Bay is missing a weapon like that this season, although rookie wide receiver Christian Watson has been impactful lately.
The exec also went on to say that the trade “did not work” and that the Packers should have tried to keep Adams so that Rodgers could have “peace of mind.”
Do you think that the Packers’ main issue this season is departing with Davanate Adams? Or would you attribute their poor season to something else?

I love Aaron Rodgers
Rogers is too immobile for todays game. Quick out passes work one out of 10 times so why do they use it ? Their play selection on 3rd down is atrocious ! I don’t see much difference from the McCarthy era, even though he had one Super Bowl, the rest of the years suck ! I’ve watched the Packers since the ’60s Starr Taylor Hornung Magee Doyler and I’ll bet Lombardi is rolling in his grave !
The Packers DID try to keep Adams… even offered him more that the Raiders. Adams WANTED to leave. He wanted to play with his friend and QB he’s won national championships with before. Adams did not want to play with Arod anymore. Let’s not get this twisted. BTW… any real exec would know that.
