That’s my guy,” said Adams, who was appearing on the show to promote Optimum Nutrition, a line of performance products.
Not that he needed me to come along for it, because he was already in that spot, but we’ve established a lot together.
Late in the season, Rodgers spoke at length about his friendship with Adams, which has reached a point similar to the relationships Rodgers has had with Nelson and Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Charles Woodson, who are among Rodgers’ best friends.
“I wrote him a real long message and just let him know how important he is to me — how much I value his friendship and I appreciate the way that he inspires me and our team.
“You know, I’ve said for so long that Charles was the best player that I played with.
At another point last season, Rodgers said of Adams, “I wouldn’t want to throw to anybody else.
Very unique player, unique person, and I am so thankful to have him on our squad.
“Just like any other job, you want to be happy, and once you’ve gained that respect, you want to be treated with that type of respect.
“I can’t speak on specifics, but there are certain things that he wants, and maybe the club wasn’t so excited about living up to right away.
“It wasn’t the best news to receive while I’m out there trying to have a good time.
A lot is still being figured out on his end, so it’s tough for me to get into the specifics and speak on it.
