Davante Adams was not a fan of catching passes from Jimmy Garoppolo when the two were with the Las Vegas Raiders.
We found that out during the 2024 Netflix series "Receiver," when a clip of Adams was featured on the show that saw the superstar wide receiver extremely frustrated with Jimmy G during the 2023 season.
"“This is f****** pathetic, bro,” Adams said in the clip. “Just throw the f****** ball, man! F***. Tired of this f****** bull****.”
“I gotta get the f*** outta here before I lose my f****** life,” he added. “I ain’t never been hit so many f****** times in my career. Every game, I get f***** up.”
Adding to that, Adams also admitted he had signed off on Garoppolo's benching for then-rookie Aidan O'Connell.
“Well, my opinion on that was that I signed off on that, and that’s just the reality of it,” Adams said of Jimmy G's benching in the Netflix show. "You know, I love Jimmy and he's a great guy, but something had to happen in order for us to have a chance down the stretch and in order for me to remain a Raider, in all honesty."
Garoppolo was cut by the Raiders in 2024 and latched on with the Los Angeles Rams as Matthew Stafford's backup, a role he still has. Adams, meanwhile, was traded to the New York Jets last season but has since landed with the Rams.
Of course, that means Adams and Jimmy G are teammates once again, although the former won't be catching passes from the latter unless Stafford gets hurt.
With the Rams at training camp, that has already unfolded. Stafford is dealing with a back issue that has him sidelined at practice and could keep him out multiple weeks, which means Jimmy G has been throwing passes to Adams.
Stafford has typically been a durable player, but he's now in his late-thirties, which only increases his injury risk. That means it's quite conceivable Garoppolo could throw passes to Adams during the regular season, too.
Garoppolo has since addressed the fact that he and Adams are teammates once again, but there was no mention of the receiver's infamous comments.
"Pumped, man," Garoppolo said of teaming up with Adams. "Haven’t seen him in a while. Talented receiver. It’ll be fun seeing him again, just getting back on the same page. I’ve seen what he can do before."
Things might be cool now between the two, but knowing Adams, that will quickly change if the two are paired once again in a game and Jimmy G doesn't get the job done.
