Chad Johnson almost cries while fans all say same thing about visibly upset Davante Adams’ X-rated Raiders meltdown
Davante Adams had a meltdown on live primetime TV, forcefully removing and then slamming his helmet on the sideline during Monday Night Football.
While some NFL fans pointed out that Adams chose to join the Las Vegas Raiders and left Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, former Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson took the opposite route.
Johnson, who is retired, expressed pure sympathy for Adams and said he was on the verge of tears after the Raiders receiver was held to just one catch for 11 yards in Las Vegas' frustrating 26-14 home defeat to the Detroit Lions.
"I almost want to cry for Davante," Johnson said on the . "I almost want to cry," when discussing his link up with Jimmy Garoppolo.
Shannon Sharpe agreed with Ochocinco.
"They're messing up a very stellar career," Sharpe said.

"He went from Aaron Rodgers to Carr and Jimmy G," a fan tweeted.

“Frustration," Adams said. "But that kind of goes without saying.â€
Running back Josh Jacobs expressed the same feelings after the loss.
