It sure would have been ideal if the Green Bay Packers were the ones lining up across from the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend in Super Bowl 59. But, the cards didn't fall their way this season.
Instead, the Packers are with 29 other teams watching from afar. One of the players most adamant about getting back to the postseason and motivated to win a Super Bowl just so happened to be a newcomer this past season.
Running back Josh Jacobs was quite the difference-maker for Green Bay over the 2024 season as he was the clear catalyst of this offense. Jacobs' career-high 15 rushing touchdowns helped the Packers find their way to a postseason berth, but as we know, they came up short of the ultimate goal.
During the craziness of Super Bowl week, Jacobs caught up with NFL personality Kay Adams and, of the topics covered, of course they had to chat about former Packers wide receiver Davante Adams.
Jacobs spoke highly of his current teammates but also acknowledged they needed more. A Davante Adams reunion would certainly help.
"Would you welcome a return of Davante Adams to Green Bay?" (Kay) Adams asked.
"Most definitely. I think he's an amazing receiver, amazing person," Jacobs responded.

Now, Jacobs isn't necessarily involved in front office and personnel decisions. However, after the Packers' playoff loss this year, he did come out and say he would be doing some recruiting. Just because he doesn't have a seat in that front office doesn't mean he isn't going to do his best to help out.
Again, he doesn't make the decisions. But, it sure sounds like if it were up to him, Adams would have a spot on this team.

"We have a spot for him ... he's a great leader," Jacobs affirmed.
Funny enough, earlier in the interview, Jacobs also alluded to trying to figure out what it would cost the Packers to get Adams in a deal. Not that the price tag would necessarily matter to him, but it was comical to hear that reaction from him as a player.
Jacobs sounded more than excited about the possibility of having Adams back in Green Bay and reuniting after once playing together with the Raiders.
This Packers wide receiver room could absolutely use that true no. 1 type of wideout. And, even though Adams is getting older, he still possesses that type of alpha presence needed within the room.
Depending on how the Jets' strategy looks this offseason, the fan favorite wideout might just be on the move, too.
