Rodgers and Adams are interested in teaming up with the Broncos.

The Broncos are the team that could best accommodate both players according to Jordan.

The relationship between Rodgers and the Packers is severely damaged, and Adams is frustrated with the Packers treatment of the quarterback, who is his close friend.

In addition, it was reported that Nathaniel Hackett is the favorite to land the Broncos head coaching job after interviewing with them for eight hours, which would further strengthen the ties.

Despite some issues with the organization, Rodgers and the Packers came to an agreement during training camp that resulted in a reworked deal and his reporting and playing in 2021.

The future Hall of Fame quarterback agreed to play if he was given a say in his future in the NFL. He won't be a free agent until after the 2022, so his options are: return to the Packers, retire or ask for a trade.

Green Bay used the year to work on repairing its relationship with Rodgers.

Despite being the top seed in the conference, Rodgers and the Packers were knocked out of the playoffs by the San Francisco 49ers.

After the loss, Rodgers said that he would make a decision before free agency.

Adams is set to become a free agent this summer.

The Packers could prevent the receiver from signing with another team if they place the franchise tag on him.

Green Bay could send Adams to Denver in exchange for a first-round pick and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, who was the Broncos first-round selection in 2020.

The Broncos have not reached the playoffs since 2015 and have had several quarterbacks since Manning retired, so there is no doubt they would be interested in Rodgers if he wanted to join them.

Rodgers is a 10-time Pro Bowler, one-time Super Bowl champion, and might be on the verge of becoming a four-time NFL Most Valuable Player. He would make Denver a contender.

Adams has developed into one of the top wideouts due to Rodgers.

The 29-year-old has been named a Pro Bowler in each of the past five seasons and a First Team All-Pro in each of the past two.

In 2020 he set a career high with 18 touchdown catches and in 2021 he set career highs with 123 reception for 1,553 yards and 11 touchdown catches.

Nothing can happen until Rodgers makes his decision, as the Rodgers-Adams combo would become an instant threat in the AFC West, which has been dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs in recent years.
