In recent days, there were many rumors that legendary former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is about to be released by the New York Jets, had his sights set on joining the Los Angeles Rams. In fact, it was believed that were he to join the Rams, he would bring Davante Adams, the former Packers standout wide receiver, with him.
But that possibility disappeared on Friday when the Rams chose to hold onto incumbent QB1 Matthew Stafford while also agreeing to restructure his contract.

The Giants moved on from the disappointing Daniel Jones midway through this season, and bringing in Rodgers would likely result in more pain and disappointment for a fan base that is already disgusted about some organizational miscues over the last couple of years.
