Franchise tag roundup: Davante Adams, 4 more tagged by deadline

Field Level Media

Just like his MVP quarterback, Packers wide receiver Davante Adams' future is also in Green Bay.

The Packers used the franchise tag to retain Adams, hours after Aaron Rodgers confirmed he would return for the 2022 season. Adams was one of five NFL players to receive the tag Tuesday before the 4 p.m. ET deadline and one of eight in all.

Adams exceeds the franchise tag tender value for wide receivers and would make more than $20 million in 2022 under the tender. Because his cap hit was almost $16.8 million in 2021, his franchise number is $20.
