Matthew Stafford missing the start of training camp due to a back injury came with the side effect of reuniting Jimmy Garoppolo and Davante Adams with the Los Angeles Rams' first-team offense.
Jimmy G was the Raiders' starting quarterback in 2023, with Adams the No. 1 wideout. The Netflix documentary Receiver detailed the wideout's unhappiness at the time and his support in the benching of Garoppolo two years ago in Vegas.
Now that they're back together in L.A., Adams said the negative time in both of their careers is water under the bridge.
"It's amazing," Adams said of playing with Garoppolo again, when asked about their relationship on ESPN LA’s Sedano & Kap. "I love Jimmy. It was never a personal thing, and I was hoping we didn't have to have these [conversations] -- I'm surprised this is the first time it's been brought up. It's been amazing. We got to catch up and get on the right page.
"Obviously, that was just a dark moment in all of our lives. I think all of us were pretty miserable over there. And we kind of caught up and laughed about it and we've been making plays since we've been out here, so it's been fun."
Despite questionable QB play in the past couple of seasons, Adams has put up five consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, including 1,036 yards and eight touchdowns on 85 catches over 14 games with the Raiders and New York Jets in 2024.
