Freddie Boston: Davante Adams’ contract looks better and better for Packers

I think we all believed we got Davante Adams on a good deal at the time, and we're feeling that deal is getting better with each overpaid WR coming through now. What says you?

On Friday, Ben Goessling of the Star-Tribune reported that Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has signed a four-year, $64 million extension that could be worth up to $73 million. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, $35 million is guaranteed.

That could work out at over $18 million a year, making Thielen one of the highest paid receivers in the NFL. And well deserved. Thielen is an excellent player and has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with a combined 2,649 yards and 13 touchdowns over the past two years.

Rewind a little over a year, back to December 2017. Davante Adams was a few months away from hitting free agency, but the Green Bay Packers were able to agree a deal, which was for four years and worth $58 million. Adams’ deal works out at less than $15 million a year.

It sure is looking like a great contract right now!
Adams is one of the best, and if he keeps going like he has the last couple of years, it’s going to look like a steal!

Maybe the packers will rework his contract early to give him a raise, ala thielen and Rodgers.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Excellent Source: The Bears have a deal in place to move up to 5 if Jeanty is there.

dfosterf (21h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (21h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (21h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (23-Apr) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (23-Apr) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
