Packers star WR Davante Adams has informed the team he won’t play on the franchise tag, and the sides remain far apart on a long-term deal, per sources. It’s all coming to a head. Something has to give.



This is going to be blown up, but it was expected.

If Packers cut both LB Smith's, they're under the cap with just those two moves.

Cancer. Hanging out with Aaron too much. And oh yeah, he's creeping towards 30.

Trade him for someone younger.

Adams is not a cancer. Teammates have stated how much he's helped them, specifically the WR's.

20 MILLION DOLLARS for one season? How would he feed his children on THAT low salary?!?!
His kids would STARVE! How would he pay his mortgage?

Anyhow, Davante Adams only issue is he wants to be the highest paid WR for his ego. He feels that's what he deserve because he feels there is no WR better than them and he wants to be paid accordingly. That's all it is. It's not about not having a enough money, it's not about the money, it's about the recognition that comes WITH the money. If that makes sense. I probably worded it crappy.

Basically, if the highest paid WR was getting $5 million a year, he'd be good with being paid $5.5 million per year. He just wants to be #1 paid WR.

We have a lot of time to get the deal done and I'm sure there will be more moves made to ease our cap situation. Just today we reduced it by $24 million by releasing Turner and Z.
