Is Aaron Rodgers trading green and gold for silver and black?

While the Green Bay Packers quarterback was competing in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am this weekend, Raider nation and Sin City were buzzing about a potential reunion between Rodgers and his former teammate, Davante Adams, in Las Vegas. Rodgers remains under contract through 2026, but the 39-year-old has been the subject of trade rumors, not to mention the hopes of Raiders fans who'd like to replace the outgoing Derek Carr with a four-time MVP.

'Just going to say the predominant team we hear as we're walking is Raiders,' Rodgers told CBS Sports on Saturday after he was asked about a potential home next season. '… A lot of ''Davante [Adams] misses you'' comments. We're having some fun with it.'

Like Rodgers, the Raiders originally hail from California, so it's not a surprise for locals to call on the former Super Bowl winner to reunite with Adams in Las Vegas, where the team moved in 2020.

More surprisingly, Adams laid his cards on the table during Sunday's Pro Bowl in Las Vegas, telling NFL Network that he's actively recruiting Rodgers to the Raiders.
