The Green Bay Packers let go of two valuable players at premium positions but also retained two key players with commendable new deals on Monday, the first day of legal tampering and the unofficial start of free agency in the NFL.
The wild day of news coming from Green Bay started with reports of unhappiness from Davante Adams’ camp. Predictably, the All-Pro wide receiver isn’t pleased with the franchise tag and won’t play on the one-year tender in 2022. No one involved wants him playing on the tag. It’s beneficial for both Adams and the Packers to get a long-term deal done, but the two sides aren’t close and probably won’t have a deal completed by the start of the new league year.
