Antonio Brown isn’t someone to shy away from controversy, and Aaron Rodgers is the latest quarterback to end up in Brown’s crosshairs.
Recently, Brown has been attacking Tom Brady on Twitter. However, now it seems like Brown has taken a break from bashing Brady and instead is now ripping into Rodgers.
Tom Brady is proof that nobody is safe from Antonio Brown’s reckless behavior. Brady and Brown lived together for a short period of time. They seemed to have formed a friendship during the time they spent on the same team. However, after Brown’s constant bashing of Brady, their friendship is beyond repair.
Now, Aaron Rodgers is facing the wrath of Antonio Brown. Rodgers has been struggling on the field this season. A big reason for that struggle can be attributed to Rodgers’ lack of offensive weapons. In 2021, Rodgers did have one of the best offensive weapons in the league in Davante Adams.
After the Packers’ defeat on Thursday night to the Tennessee Titans, Brown took to Twitter to take a shot at Aaron Rodgers, saying; “I bet Arod appreciate the WRs now. Wonder why Adams left.”
Despite what Antonio Brown may think, the Packers didn’t move on from Adams because of any hostility between Adams and Rodgers. Rodgers and Adams have a great relationship and have always talked in the highest regard about one another.
However, once the Packers signed Aaron Rodgers to a three-year, $150 million contract extension, they didn’t have enough cap space to sign Adams to a high-paying deal too. The Packers placed a franchise tag on Adams in March, but Adams did not want to play on a one-year deal.
Since Adams’ departure, the Packers’ offense has not been the same. Throughout most of the 2022 season, the Packers have not had a reliable wide receiver. Although, over the past few weeks, rookie receiver Christian Watson has been emerging as Rodgers’ favorite target. Watson had an impressive three receiving touchdowns against the Dallas Cowboys two weeks ago.
It’s true that the Packers miss Adams’ playmaking abilities. But was Antonio Brown out of line to assume that Aaron Rodgers never appreciated what he had?
