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.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.
