Packers wide receiver Davante Adams wanted to be teammates with Odell Beckham Jr. — that much is clear. When the Cleveland Browns released the three-time Pro Bowl receiver, the Packers were among the favorites to land Beckham’s services.
But a last-minute offer from the Rams was all Beckham needed to look beyond Green Bay. Well, it’s safe to say that Adams wasn’t quite ready to let Beckham off easy for the decision.
In the lead-up to Sunday’s game between the Packers and Rams (which the Packers won, handing Los Angeles its third straight loss), Adams revealed that Beckham still wanted to work out a jersey swap after the game. Adams initially turned Beckham down with some old-fashioned pettiness.

In an interview with Michael Irvin, Adams said that he told Beckham to go get Cooper Kupp’s jersey instead. I mean, that’s just cold, Davante.
It was in good fun, though. After the 36-28 Packers win, Adams had his jersey sent over to the Rams locker room for Odell. He did tell Odell to not punch a wall this time because of course.
