Sometimes, NFL players don’t leave their team on good terms.
Their desire to go elsewhere often leads to a back-and-forth between the front office and fans, who sometimes get involved.
Other times, however, there are no hard feelings.
That’s especially true when the players still have relationships, friendships and strong ties with some teammates, assistant coaches and staff members.
That’s why there was never a doubt that Davante Adams would be rooting for his former team in its upcoming playoff game.
The wide receiver recently made it clear that he wanted the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I’m still rootin’ for ’em. I definitely am rootin’ for ’em in that game, that’s for sure,” Adams said on “Up & Adams.”

Adams requested to be traded away from Green Bay, but it wasn’t entirely because of the team.
He has admitted that he wanted a change of scenery for his family, as the blistering cold was difficult for them.
More than that, he wanted an opportunity to be reunited with his college quarterback, Derek Carr, on the Las Vegas Raiders.
However, that didn’t work out well for Adams.
On the other hand, the Packers have fared just fine after trading both Adams and quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and their set of young pass-catchers keeps turning a lot of heads.
It won’t be easy, but Matt LaFleur’s team has enough resources to pull off the upset against the Eagles in the NFC wild-card round, and they will have their former star rooting for them.
