I'm glad about this. He's been the best we have since Jordys injured knee.

But does high average and low guarantee make sense?
[list]

  • high average is a negative aspect... as you get less money to spend else where
  • low guarantee is good for any possible type of early release (ie injury, bad characters, not living up to the contract)
  • BUT
    [list=1]
  • Packers have never really released guys for not living up to their contract
  • Packers know Adams is a good character (as far as I know)[/list][/list]

  • So high average and low guarantee only makes sense if you're worried about injury.... or if the team is going to start releasing people that aren't living up to their contract (or threaten it, to get said player to renegotiation their current contracts... but that only works if you're willing to follow through some of the time it doesn't work).

    If you're not going to force renegotiation or release of player that aren't playing up to that level... then I'd want lower averages... that way you got more money to spread around, and if it meant higher guarantees, then so be it... the team hasn't been willing to release guys anyways, so it's practical guaranteed anyways (other than injury and/or failing to make the top 53).

My guess it'll be 10-12 for a couple years early on and increase along with the salary cap (or be front loaded for a big hit one of the early seasons and light later on). The concussions are a concern which makes low guarantee a good thing but the guy averaged a 1088yd 10td season while playing with Brett "dead arm past 10 yards" Hundley.

    Using Jordy's contract as an example when he first signed it in 2014 his "average" was over 7 percent of the cap. Here are the actual hits by year:
    2014: 4.42%
    2015: 3.24%
    2016: 5.35%
    2017: 7.06%

    So the percentage of cap when signed, Adams was 8th behind T.Y. Hilton and in front of Alshon Jeffery. Looks like it's the top 6 WR all at/over 9.70% of the cap, then a 3 big gaps between players with Hilton (9.07%), Adams (8.68%) and Jeffery (7.78%) Then 10 though 18 look like a large group with Nelson at 11th and Cobb at 14th. And seems like larger gaps between players after that.

    Great to see Adams + Linsley get new deals, I know some will complain about the details but Adams proved he was a big time player. If it wasn't the Packers giving him this deal it would have been someone else, plain and simple.
