"I don't know how much I can say about it because of tampering. But we still have a great relationship. He's a great guy, great player and that's all I can say about it," Rodgers mentioned. (via: Sportskeeda)
Davante Adams' trade request is fueled by his desire to chase a Super Bowl title, as he reportedly questions the Raiders' potential for a deep playoff run. This season, the star wide receiver has made 18 receptions for 209 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, he will miss Week 5 due to a hamstring injury. Could this be the turning point in his quest for championship glory?

Entering the 2024 NFL season, the New York Jets had high hopes of Super Bowl contention, especially with quarterback Aaron Rodgers fully recovered from his Achilles tear sustained in Week 1 last season. However, after four weeks, the Jets sit at 2-2, reeling from a frustrating 10-9 defeat against the Broncos at home. Following yet another disappointing offensive performance, Rodgers is stepping up to take responsibility.
"No, not at all," Rodgers said about a possible letdown from the team against Denver, via the Jets' website. "That's a really good defense. When your defense holds 'em to 10, you've got to win the game 100 percent of the time. That's on the offense, on me. It's not good enough…
"The weather sucked, but so did some of my throws," Rodgers said. "We had some chances but we made way too many mental mistakes and some poor throws, and we just missed some easy stuff, protection stuff, route adjustments that should've been easy. Our focus wasn't as sharp as it was the first couple of weeks."
In Week 5, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets will travel to London to face off against the Minnesota Vikings, where they are currently 2.5-point underdogs. Following this matchup, New York will take on the Buffalo Bills in Week 6, marking a crucial two-game stretch for the team as they aim to turn their season around.
