Davante Adams revealed his emotional side on the "Up & Adams" show on Friday, discussing a poignant moment he missed with Aaron Rodgers. The star receiver admitted feeling "a little bit jealous" when he saw Rodgers walking off Lambeau Field with Randall Cobb in their final game as Packers.

Adams' candid admission stemmed from his solitary exit from Lambeau.

"I actually walked off the field by myself," Adams said.

This sentiment pushed Adams to create his meaningful farewell after the Jets' season-ending victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

"After I finished my media, I waited for him to finish his on the field and then we got to walk off one last time," Adams said.

The weight of potentially playing their final game together wasn't lost on either player. Adams and Rodgers shared several victorious exits this season, including a memorable walk-off after their win over Jacksonville on Dec. 15.

Their partnership spans nearly a decade, with eight seasons in Green Bay before reuniting in New York. The duo reached four NFC championship games during their Packers tenure from 2014 to 2021.

The emotional significance of Davante Adams' words mirrors a similar moment between Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb in January 2023. After the Packers' playoff-missing loss to Detroit, they shared an unplanned walk through the Lambeau tunnel.

Adams and Rodgers now face uncertain futures with the Jets. Adams holds opt-outs in his contract through 2026, while Rodgers, who turned 41 in December, awaits decisions from New York's incoming management team.

The Jets acquired Adams via trade from Las Vegas in October, sending a conditional third-round pick to reunite the prolific duo. Their connection produced one final touchdown in the season-closing win over Miami.

Rodgers marked the occasion with a black-and-white photo on social media, showing the pair walking down the MetLife Stadium tunnel arm-in-arm. The post fueled speculation about their NFL futures.

Reports suggest Adams might only return to New York if Rodgers stays. The Jets, holding the No. 7 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, lack both a general manager and a permanent head coach after midseason dismissals.

This potential final walk carries extra meaning given their history.

"Haven't really had a whole lot of opportunities to walk out of field, off the field, smiling together," Adams said.

Adams' reflection underlined the rarity of these moments in their partnership.
