This is great news for the Packers.
Adams has become the team’s premier wide receiver this year, making him the top priority in free agency. The fact general manager Ted Thompson has managed to get the deal done this early is good news for everyone involved.
The news came from ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday.
Packers are signing WR Davante Adams to a multi-year contract extension, per sources. Deal either will be for 4 or 5 years, at roughly $14 million per year. Adams was scheduled to be a free agent.

Adams thrived in 2016 with Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football, but his real test came when Rodgers broke his collarbone earlier this season.
