As of about a week ago, Davante Adams is now the proud of father of a baby girl named Daija. Adams had a pretty good night this past Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles with 10 catches totaling 180-yards. Packers fans know how well of a motivator family is for a player when thinking back to Brett Favre playing one of his best Monday Night Football games of his career following the death of his father. Fortunately for Adams, this was a celebration of a new life.

There was some concern towards Adams possibly having a turf toe injury during the game against the Eagles in the fourth quarter. During a post-game interview, he was holding his right shoe in his hand and, when asked, confirmed it was because of a painful toe. Fortunately, after seeing a specialist in Green Bay, it turns out not to be that serious and shouldn’t hold him back much going forward. He has until October 6th to heal up for a game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Via ESPN:
“As far as long term, it’s tough to say right now,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Friday when asked about the prognosis for Adams. “But, you know, it’s going to be an opportunity, whether he’s able to go or not. It’s going to provide some other guys some opportunities and they’re going to have to step up, and next man up.”
I don’t do this often but put your cash on Dallas giving 2 1/2.
You can add the Chiefs giving up 7
Lighter in the wallet you are…Yoda
I suppose i might be, if i actually bet.
Seems like Dallas looks like a different team when at home vs. on the road. They looked really bad.
There is a myth among some fans who believe that if you delve into free agency, you will automatically have to over pay.
Clay Mathews, no signing bonus..5.5 mil Guarantee. 2019 earnings 3.5 million.
Stats: 4 games…8 solo tackles, 4 sacks, 2 FF
Cousins $84M…did they overpay?
Yes they did….What’s your point?
Just taking a shot at the Vikings and their $84M waste of money. Could have Keenum for $8.4M with the same results.
I don’t know what Clay’s problem was in GB but he didn’t have that many sacks and forced fumbles all last season. Hasn’t had 8+ sacks since 2014. I think Matthews and Perry leaving town to go back home was best for everyone.
Things change when surroundings change sometimes, i think he’s more successful due to opportunities presented by offenses keying in and stopping other players like Donald. The Rams definitely found a bargain in Mathews.

Say what you want about Ha Ha Dix. Another example of a better situation where the front of that defense opens up opportunities for the back half. We all thought that Dix was just a problem child. He may very well be, but i wouldn’t be shocked to find out it was more the Packers, than him.
True, Donald getting a lot of attention would open things up. It’s not like Mike Daniels was garnering much attention in GB, unless it was throwback week and he pissed his pants.

I don’t know how Haha is doing in Chicago but it sounds like he’s doing well. If that’s the case, add him to the list of DB’s doing better elsewhere. Damarius Randle in Cleveland, Hyde in Buffalo, Hayward with the Chargers, Josh Jones in his moms basement.
Good for matthews. Wade Phillips a great coordinator and the rams have a great defensive culture…not to mention two talented corners.
That being said…what happened to the rams yesterday? Holy cow their defense shit the bed.
The turf toe injury will probably at least keep Adams from practices in order to maintain the injury. That may be good for some of the other receivers. The offense may see Adams in games, but not so much in practice. Depending on severity, artificial turf may not be the first field you want to play on after a turf toe injury.
You were correct
